It's easy to support clean water in our community, a healthy local environment and opportunities for people to enjoy and learn from the outdoors.
Our secure website makes supporting conservation easy!
In these uncertain days, an undesignated gift is the most helpful, as it allows us to use your donation for conservation needs as they arise.
In 2019, undesignated gifts supported projects such as upkeep of the GRCA's rail trail network and natural areas, which are admission-free to the public; water festivals where about 2,000 kids learned about water conservation in a hands-on way; the GRCA's Burford Tree Nursery, which grows and distributes about 200,000 trees and shrubs throughout our watershed; and the Luther Marsh Wildlife Management Area near the Grand River's headwaters, which supports a vibrant ecosystem and plays a big role in managing our water supply.
Alternatively, you may wish to support a specific program. The choice is yours!
For a small donation each month, you can play an active and ongoing role in caring for our watershed and its people:
-$5 helps five kids per month to learn about the outdoors at a GRCA nature centre;
-$10 enables four trees to be planted each year;
-An undesignated gift of any size can be applied to priority conservation projects as they are needed.
