Events Calendar

Mark your calendars—this year’s AGM is one you won’t want to miss. Hear updates on our work, recent accomplishments, and plans for the year ahead. Featuring guest speaker Dr. Anabela Bonada from the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, who leads research connecting science, risk assessment, and policy to support practical climate solutions.

Protecting What We Love in a Changing Climate

Climate change is increasingly disrupting conservation work across the region — from flooding and ice storms to drought, extreme heat, and wildfire smoke that affect natural areas, volunteers, and long-term land stewardship.

In this presentation, Dr. Anabela Bonada will connect recent local climate impacts to practical, evidence-based climate adaptation strategies developed by the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation. Drawing on applied tools and best practices, the presentation will highlight how land trusts and communities can reduce flood, wildfire, heat, and erosion risks while strengthening resilience across landscapes. The presentation will also share clear, accessible information to support local officials in planning and decision-making, alongside practical actions residents can take to protect their homes and communities. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to mobilize adaptation efforts and protect natural infrastructure such as wetlands.

Let’s go birding on the Lake Dalrymple Alvar property that we are working to protect!

A link to register will be shared via our monthly newsletter in early April. Sign up here

Please note that the road to access the property is very bumpy, and we strongly recommend a high clearance vehicle. The terrain of the landscape is mostly flat, and you have to watch for grykes and breaks in the limestone. Be aware of biting insects and be prepared for ticks.

Join the authors of the Anishanaabe Bird Names Guide on a guided hike through one of Canada’s most unique birding locations – the Carden Alvar! This fundraising walk takes place on the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Little Blue Stem Trail behind the Carden Recreation Centre. Andrés Jiménez Monge, Joseph Pitawanakwat and Junaid Shahzad Khan will guide us on a roughly 2 hour, slow hike to listen for and identify the variety of grassland birds on the Carden Alvar. Registration is $50 and includes a bagged lunch from The Roost Farm. Registration fee is waived for those who fundraise $50 or more.

Registration coming soon.
