Nature Corridor Summit 2025

For Nature. For People. For Good.

October 24th, 2025

Osler Bluff Ski Club

What to Expect

A Regional Model for Nature, Community & Climate

Join us for a day of learning about Nature Corridors, how they are necessary for the longevity of the Niagara Escarpment of South Georgian Bay, its people and the economy that sustains it all.

We’ve made some upgrades to our Summit this year…

We’ve put together informative “break out” style sessions. This means less sitting and more interaction. This means, you move around, choose your own interests and gather in smaller more meaningful groups where you can listen, learn, question and share.

Breakout Sessions (AM)

Select your preferred morning learning session:

  1. Collaborative Conservation with Indigenous Leaders
  2. Conservation Finance: Nature & Economy
  3. Storytelling: Water Connects us All
  4. What’s a Land Trust? Landowner-led Conservation
  5. Focus on the future: Ideas for youth engagement

Breakout Sessions (PM)

Select your preferred afternoon learning session:

  1. Success Stories Across The Escarpment: Past, Present, Future
  2. Patterns of Wildlife Extinction and Recovery in Canada
  3. Nature Corridors & Public-Private Partnerships
  4. Collective Action through Alliance
  5. Wellness through Nature: Walk and Talk

Why should you attend?

Gather information & help protect the escarpment

At this event, we will discuss how the ECA is working towards protecting and connecting the lands of the Niagara Escarpment. You will learn about how the Indigenous people treat and protect the land and how you can integrate this into your lifestyle. You will learn how you can safeguard your own property, and how we can come together as a community to keep this vital landscape intact and protected from development.

Together, we can protect and connect the Niagara Escarpment
For Nature. For People. For Good

Key Takeaways to be had…

Nature & Reconciliation

Learn indigenous ways of knowing and being with the land, and how collaborative conservation using two-eyed seeing is a necessary approach to protecting nature

Watershed Importance

Water is the lifeline. Without our watersheds that flow through the Niagara Escarpment, biodiversity would cease to exist as we know it today.

Building a Corridor

By the end of this conference, you will understand the importance of a Nature Corridor as a layer of protection for the Niagara Escarpment
