Top Fundraising Priorities
- To raise the funds to protect the critical natural resources of the Essex Region.
The United Nations has stated that for a region to be healthy and sustainable, at least 12% of its land area must consist of natural spaces. In a region where merely 7.5% of our land base remains in a natural state, the importance of protecting existing significant natural areas cannot be overstated. Our current priorities are the Spring Garden Complex and the St. Clair College Prairie Woodlot. - Greening the Essex Region
Raising funds for tree planting, habitat restoration and carbon credits are just a few ways in which the Essex Region Conservation Foundation can provide opportunities for every citizen to become involved in creating a future of environmental sustainability for the Essex Region. - To raise the funds to create a first rate Centre for Excellence in Environmental Education.
This education centre will promote water and energy conservation and serve as an educational complex not only for the students of the region, but for families interested in learning how to make a difference in environmental protection and restoration. As well, it will serve as a community attraction that could likely attract tourists to the region. - Trail Development
Trails have proven physical, spiritual and mental health benefits, and are key to helping allowing residents to lead more healthy and active lifestyles. Raising the funds to develop this 26 kilometre Amherstburg-Essex Greenway trail that intersects with the existing 50 kilometre Chrysler Canada Greenway, as well as creating extension for the existing Greenway, especially into the City of Windsor, will help provide more opportunities for residents to become healthy and active while benefitting the local economy as a tourism draw. - Preserving our Heritage
Understanding our history is key to our future, and the Essex Region Conservation Foundation raises funds to help preserve our human heritage by raising the funds to protect and restore the John R. Park Homestead and Kingsville Train Station.
