Protecting the Escarpment of Southern Georgian Bay before it's too late.

Some of our area’s most celebrated wild places, from the Blue Mountains above Collingwood to Beaver Valley, are threatened by mega-developments. Those proposed for Castle Glen and Talisman would turn our region’s top recreational sites—old forests, meandering trails, pristine watercourses, and sensitive wetlands—into new mini-cities.

Mission:The Escarpment Corridor Alliance was created to PROTECT Southern Georgian Bay’s Niagara Escarpment, a celebrated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, from mega development.

Vision:Our vision is to CREATE a network of forest corridors and trails that unites over 500 square kilometers of incredibly beautiful forest, wetlands, and five watersheds connecting the Blue Mountains and Beaver Valley, Castle Glen and Kolapore to Beaver Valley.

We will accomplish this in three ways: Conserve, Create & Unite

1. Conserve strategic green spaces with strong biodiversity by protecting them through private land owner options including OECM’s (Other Effective Conservation Measures) and Land Trust conservation agreements). In addition, conserving will be achieved by stopping inappropriate mega developments.

2. Create a strategic natural corridor system and  promote a Conservation Economy.

3. Unite like-minded local groups with shared visions through strategic collaboration and partnerships to achieve collective impact through a coordinated ‘one voice’.
