Now, more than 50 years later, it seems we are collectively finally taking the climate crisis seriously. With the need for action more urgent than ever, Canada is lucky to have the work of environmental organizations that have been working on these issues for years and are leading the way on policy, activism, innovation, and education. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A group that has not wavered from its mission for over 35 years is Earthroots. The group began as the Temagami Wilderness Association to fight for the preservation of rare, old growth (400 year-old), white and red pine forests in the Temagami region of Northern Ontario, and they continue to do so today. They have also worked extensively to support the preservation of Algonquin wolves and woodland caribou. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way Executive Director Franz Hartmann frames it is simple: protected species need protected spaces. You can\u2019t have one without the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re ecologically based and we do stray into other things from time to time,\u201d explains Gord Miller, Chair of Earthroots Board of Directors\u00a0 and former Environmental Commissioner of Ontario from 2000-2015. \u201cWe\u2019ve been involved with Grassy Narrows and the mercury contamination up there. It\u2019s a lot of work on parks, protected spaces, and preserving wilderness and wildness for future generations.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45903 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1-768x1007.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1-1171x1536.jpg 1171w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1-1562x2048.jpg 1562w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Gord-Miller-headshot1.jpg 1907w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/a><em>Chair of Earthroots Board of Directors, Gord Miller<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organization has two separate arms: Earthroots Fund, which is a charitable organization that engages in public education and research, and Earthroots Coalition, a non-profit organization that engages in advocacy and action. The intentional split allows the organizations to independently tackle different parts of climate action within the structures Canada has in place for charities and nonprofits. . \u201cEarthroots Coalition is not bound by the constraints that the charitable status puts on Earthroots Fund which allows us to put 200 people on the lawn at Queen\u2019s Park if it\u2019s necessary.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A unique aspect of the organization is that they take their supporters into the wilderness. Over the years they\u2019ve worked with their biologist and citizen scientists to collect wolf samples for DNA analysis, but also with First Nations to investigate the old growth and the changing of the seasons. \u201cEarthroots very much engages with the landscape and brings people into the landscape, which is not something you see necessarily in urban-centered environmental groups,\u201d says Miller.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course COVID has not allowed for these outings over the last couple of years, but with overwhelming research demonstrating the benefits of \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/can-forest-therapy-enhance-health-and-well-being-2020052919948\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">forest bathing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201dEarthroots would like to find a way to help people bring the forest into their homes. \u201cThere\u2019s now mounting evidence that you can get the same benefits virtually\u201d, says Hartmann. \u201cOne of the ideas that we\u2019re playing with is using technology to bring people to the old growth forest without them having to leave their home or community. That\u2019s not a replacement to actually being there but it\u2019s another tool in the toolbox to develop a relationship between people and these wilderness areas that need preservation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently the Provincial government is allowing forestry companies to log old growth pines, making no distinction between trees. \u201cThe way the laws are written right now, 400 year old trees are treated the same way as trees that were planted in 1900,\u201d explains Hartmann. \u201cThis is an incredible ecological heritage we need to hold onto.\u201d Earthroots has started a letter writing campaign to provincial ministers who have responsibility for this legislation. \u201cThese trees are important carbon sinks that will help us get through the climate crisis. We need this green infrastructure if we hope to get through it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019ve also recently launched a campaign to build pollinator \u201chighways\u201d where they want to plant wildflowers and the vegetation that pollinators need along the shoulders of the highways. \u201cThey\u2019re absolutely key to maintaining ecosystem health and also to maintaining food supply,\u201d says Hartmann. Since these shoulders are mostly grass currently that must be maintained by municipalities and regions, Earthroots can easily make both an environmental and financial case for change. \u201cThey\u2019re spending money, they\u2019re taking time, and they\u2019re burning fossil fuels to mow grass. And what we\u2019re saying is: you can save yourself a whole bunch of money, create less pollution, and plant these beautiful plants that will attract bees and butterflies and will do a host of ecological good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earthroots also continues to play a role in forest management plans. When the plans come up for renewal their team reviews the documents with a high level of expertise. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s just say, we keep them honest,\u201d explains Miller. \u201cKeeping the pressure on the regulator, the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, is a very valuable role. They may not be entirely happy with us but they respect us professionally because they know that when we come with submissions, they\u2019re likely going to be right. Earthroots has always played a role in trying to draw the public into government decision making about the environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hartmann believes that one of the key elements to Earthroots success is their donors and supporters. \u201cIt\u2019s always important for donors and for the general public to look at a group<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not just as a snapshot in time or what they are doing today<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">because it\u2019s so easy to get caught up in the moment and the immediacy of things. You need to look back and say, \u2018What\u2019s happened? What have they done?\u2019 Then also to look forward and say, \u2018What sort of plan do they have?\u2019\u201d Hartmann has no doubt that Earthroots has accomplished a significant amount of environmental change over the last three decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEarthroots is part of an ecosystem of environmental groups and we know our niche, we know what we do well and we know that what we do is absolutely vital for moving forward,\u201d says Hartmann. \u201cWithout Earthroots you have a huge hole. With Earthroots you have another very strong group with a long history of success and activism that will hopefully collectively help preserve wilderness, wild spaces and wildlife.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about Earthroots on their<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/earthroots-fund\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Charity Profile page<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recognition of Earth Day, we&#8217;re highlighting the important work of grassroots conservation organization, Earthroots.
