ERCA Tips
Plant leafy (deciduous) trees on the sunny side of your house. During the summer, they provide shade, and in winter, they will shed their leaves to let the warming sunshine through.

How often do we struggle to identify a unique gift for those special people in our lives? At a time when material goods are at a maximum and special gift ideas are hard to come by, a Gift of the Environment is an opportunity to purchase a holiday gift for a loved one while at the same time, helping to protect our region's most significant natural areas. As well, each gift is fully tax deductible, making this an extremely attractive gift giving option. As the year is drawing to a close, the Essex Region Conservation Foundation provides you with an opportunity to maximize your tax deductible contributions for the year.

For a donation of $40 or more, your Gift of the Environment will help protect that habitat of the Great Horned Owl, the Monarch Butterfly, the Bullfrog, the Midland Painted Turtle and other species in the Essex Region. In return, you'll be provided with an attractive 8" x 11" certificate featuring the photo and acknowledgement of the species that you have protected.
