Did You Know?

On average, Conservation Authorities plant more than 2M trees annually through their various tree planting programs and stewardship initiatives. This work helps to mitigate climate change by moderating the effects of drought and flooding, reducing soil erosion, reducing GHGs, sequestering carbon, providing habitat for wildlife, creating recreational opportunities, and providing an essential economic resource.

 

Greater Golden Horseshoe – Conservation Authority Collaborative

The Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition (CAMC) was established in 2000.  The nine Conservation Authorities with watersheds extending onto the Oak Ridges Moraine came together to advance the science and understanding of the Moraine. Their mission was to work towards government, agency and community support for the conservation and protection of the form, function and linkages of the Oak Ridges Moraine. 

In 2017, the CAMC was amalgamated with the Greater Golden Horseshoe conservation authorities to become current the twelve-member Greater Golden Horseshoe Conservation Authorities Coalition (GGH-CAC). The GGH-CAC is designed to be a collective for the following:

  • Sharing of information, best practices, strategy, science, data, and conversation/collective action on issues that transcend local municipal and individual watershed boundaries.
  • Exploring resource and collaborative program delivery opportunities where warranted.
  • Completing priority projects together, where there is benefit in them being completed at that scale.
  • Supporting each other in leveraging the momentum of one or more CA to support others.
  • Undertaking research or studies or producing common information materials where it makes sense to do so, and where it adds value or reduces costs.
