Nature and People working in harmony in Carolinian Canada

Habitat levels in Southwestern Ontario are the lowest in Canada, creating a crisis that is affecting water quality and other landscape functions.  Stabilizing the loss of habitat and the species, that live in the Carolinian Canada Life Zone, is critical to protecting the natural heritage for healthy, balanced and sustainable landscapes. 

Generating and enhancing the effectiveness of conservation action across the Carolinian Life Zone takes the spotlight at Carolinian Canada’s “Growing Sustainable Connections” forum on Friday, October 20^th, 2006 at the Elm Hurst Inn, Ingersoll.  “The key to saving this unique landscape is effective collaboration with individuals and groups who care about our natural lands,” says Michelle Kanter, Executive Director, Carolinian Canada Coalition.  The forum will set the stage for working together across sectors so landowners, wildlife and communities can benefit.

Cost to register for the one-day event is $40 to $70 sliding scale.  For more information on the forum, contact Carolinian Canada Coalition at 519-433-7077 or visit the website to register at www.carolinian.org.   

Carolinian Canada Coalition is generously sponsored by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
