The Natural Treasures of Carolinian Canada Discovering the rich natural diversity of Southwestern Ontario's Heartland by the Carolinian Canada Coalition Sweeping from Toronto to Lake Huron and Lake Erie is a region of biological richness unmatched in Canada. Here the native trees have unusual names — Sassafras, Cucumber Magnolia, Tulip-tree, Black Walnut, Pawpaw — evoking the distinctly southern character for which the region is named. The Carolinian region is only a quarter of a percent of the country’s total land area, but close to one-third of Canada’s rare and endangered plants and animals live here. So does more than a quarter of the country’s population. The Carolinian landscape is one of the most threatened in North America. Since 1984 the Carolinian Canada Coalition has been bringing together organizations, communities, and individuals to conserve the special places and species of the Carolinian life zone. It has become a powerful voice for protecting the remaining fragments of Carolinian habitat. But much still needs to be done. This book is a labour of love for the contributors, naturalists and scientists who share their knowledge of the diverse richness and rarity of the species and spaces in Carolinian Canada through engaging and informative text, and who hope that this book will inspire, encourage, and support the work of conserving this unique landscape. Beyond the science, this book invites you to explore your region through perspective of experts who have an intimate connection to Carolinian Canada’s unique nature. The Coalition recognizes and thanks the many volunteers and contributors who made this project successful including Lorraine, the CC book committee and the Nature Conservancy of Canada for their financial support.
