Helping communities take local action to strengthen climate resilience in the face of global climate change.
ACER’s Vision: Healthy and climate-resilient communities that work together to enhance, restore and protect biodiversity and build a better, greener world.
The Association for Canadian Educational Resources empowers communities to monitor, measure, mitigate, and adapt to the impacts of climate change. We engage with communities to improve their health and the health of their urban forest. We use international monitoring protocols to measure trees we plant, which promotes collaboration and a deeper understanding of our changing climate. We engage school groups from grades K to 12 and provide STEM-related curriculum materials.

Our Programs
Planting for Change
Planting for Change is a long-term tree planting, measuring, and monitoring initiative conducted with students in their schoolyards. Since the program began in 2008, we have planted at more than 60 schools in Ontario.
Riparian Rangers
Riparian Rangers paired volunteers with partnering conservation authorities to plant, measure, monitor, and collect data on trees planted within 50 meters of a watercourse. This program involvement with with 13 conservation authorities across the province of Ontario, and the data collected has been invaluable in determining methodologies for green infrastructure, as well as developing climate change mitigation strategies.
Measure UP!
Measure UP! is a program that gets people outdoors together to learn how to identify, measure and care for trees, and help ACER collect valuable monitoring data on the tens of thousands of trees ACER has planted over the decades.
Go Global
Go Global is a network of one-hectare forest plots across Ontario, established using a protocol developed by the Smithsonian Institution. These plots demonstrate the effectiveness of local monitoring and reporting of environmental change in long-term forest biodiversity monitoring programs.
In addition to our programs, we run shorter-term initiatives funded by government grants from both the federal and provincial levels.
ACER also provides resources and other learning materials via our website, including curriculum planning resources, word searches and quizzes, and tree measuring and monitoring training materials and videos.
Even a small donation makes a big difference -- every dollar goes toward program development, implementation, collecting tree data, creating resources for educators and the community, and more.
