The activities of the Coalition are directed by a Board of Directors drawn from a wide range of groups and organizations. Coordination for Coalition activities is provided by an Executive Director, Michelle Kanter. The Board of Directors meets six times annually in alternate months. In addition, a series of Working Groups meet to address specific program themes. For additional information, please contact us. Annual or biennial meetings are held to draw together partner organizations, often around a theme or topic.
From 1984-1994, Carolinian Canada funded land acqusition and stewardship projects directed at conserving 38 critical unprotected areas across the region. These programs resulted in private landowners agreeing to conserve over 15,000 acres and acquisition of 2,000 acres by conservation groups. Public education and scientific studies were also undertaken.
Today, Carolinian Canada promotes innovative and comprehensive approaches to conserving our natural heritage. The "Big Picture" project is a state-of-the-art combination of conservation science and computerized mapping technology used to develop a system of natural areas across the entire Carolinian Zone. Our awards program honours exemplary efforts by conservationists across the region. Conferences, workshops and publications help inform and educate the public and conservation professionals.
Carolinian Canada's funding comes entirely from grants, memberships and donations. Many major public and private sector organizations and foundations have supported Carolinian Canada's projects over the years. Your support and involvement would be greatly appreciated.
