Help Protect Ontario’s Fragile Ecosystems: Support the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust

The Oak Ridges Moraine is more than just a scenic landscape; it’s home to some of Ontario’s most delicate and endangered species. As a vital ecological corridor stretching across 160 km, the Moraine sustains sensitive flora and fauna that depend on its unique habitats for survival. At the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust, we are deeply committed to protecting these ecosystems and the species at risk that call them home, like the rare Kirtland’s Warbler.

This critically endangered bird, once thought to nest exclusively in the U.S., has found a sanctuary in the Oak Ridges Moraine. Its survival, along with many other at-risk species, depends on the health and protection of these lands. The Moraine also supports a variety of plant species, some of which are equally at risk, creating a delicate balance that must be preserved.

Why Your Support is Crucial

We are in a race against time as climate change, habitat destruction, and human encroachment threaten these vital ecosystems. Your donation directly helps protect endangered species and their habitats, ensuring that the Oak Ridges Moraine remains a sanctuary for Ontario’s most vulnerable flora and fauna.

With your support, we can:

• Protect critical habitats for species at risk, including the Kirtland’s Warbler, Jefferson Salamander, and other sensitive wildlife.
• Restore degraded ecosystems and promote biodiversity across the Moraine.
• Expand our efforts to safeguard watersheds that sustain both wildlife and local communities.
• Foster environmental education to inspire more conservation advocates to protect these fragile ecosystems.

Your contribution is not just an investment in land conservation; it’s a lifeline for the species that rely on the Moraine for survival. By donating, you help us continue the fight to preserve Ontario’s rich biodiversity and protect the natural habitats that keep our ecosystems alive.

Join us in this urgent mission. Help us ensure that the Oak Ridges Moraine remains a safe haven for species at risk and a symbol of environmental resilience for generations to come. Your support is critical.
