From Thames Talbot Land Trust:

Did you know that in southern Ontario, only around 1% of original grassland habitats remain due to stressors like human activity and climate change? Land that was largely covered in grasses, sedges, and wildflowers, and prevented soil erosion, stored carbon, and provided vital habitat for pollinators is now one of the rarest habitat types in southern Ontario.

With the Nature Nearby campaign, your support helps fund projects like meadow and prairie protection and restoration. TTLT currently protects around 195 acres of meadow habitat with plans to protect and restore another 48 acres (and counting) in the near future!

The addition of one of our newest nature reserves, MapleCross – Bass Woods, provides an additional 3 acres of rare meadow habitat. Though that may sound small, every little piece is important in creating a network of permanently protected habitats for all living beings!

Let’s grow conservation together, to ensure that nature is always nearby! Support nature today by donating at https://www.thamestalbotlandtrust.ca/donations !
