We are a community-based land trust protecting over 1,550 acres of natural spaces across Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
Who we are, what we do and why we do it
Across Ontario, protections for parks and natural areas are being weakened. In a time of climate crisis, protecting land is one of the most effective long-term solutions we have.
The rare Charitable Research Reserve is community-driven urban land trust and environmental research institute protecting over 1,550 acres of ecologically significant lands across twelve properties in the Upper Grand River Watershed, specifically Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
Your support today helps ensure the protection of these lands now and for the future.
Everything is connected. As a land trust and environmental institute, rare’s ultimate goal is to make the world a more sustainable place. We do this by making the environment relevant in peoples’ lives through conservation, research and education in ways that are inclusive of different world views and all forms of inquiry.
Conservation is our priority, promoting a biodiverse and sustainable world for everybody’s health and well-being.
Unlike more traditional methods of conservation, we don’t build fences around our natural areas to protect them. We believe that people are a part of the environment and when we all work together, sustainability is achievable.
