Our mission:
To create awareness and raise funds to enhance our natural environment for healthy living and economic vibrancy in the Essex Region.
Our Accomplishments
The Essex Region Conservation Foundation continues to raise funds to protect and improve our local environment and water quality by protecting natural areas, planting trees and building trails.
Our Future
We need to protect and restore important natural areas, educate our community on the role of conservation efforts, respect our cultural heritage, and connect people with our trails and natural spaces.
Our Strategy
To achieve a sustainable environment with healthy watersheds, highlighted by clean creeks, rivers, and Great Lakes, thriving natural areas, productive agricultural lands, and vibrant places.
Welcome to the Essex Region Conservation Foundation
The Essex Region Conservation Foundation (ERCF) was established as a registered, charitable public foundation in 1977 with a vital goal to receive and maintain funds for charitable, educational, conservation and heritage purposes related directly or indirectly to the conservation, restoration, development, and management of natural and heritage resources in the Essex region.
The Foundation supports the Essex Region Conservation Authority by raising the funds required to reforest and green the Essex region, protect those significant natural areas that remain, preserve our cultural heritage, restore wetlands, and increase green connections through acquiring and developing trails.
