About
Community involvement defines Ontario Nature’s character and approach. With our member groups and individual members, Ontario Nature has made a significant impact on conservation issues in communities across Ontario. Together we are building a natural legacy for future generations.
Ontario Nature’s Conservation Awards recognize excellence by honouring individuals, youth, groups, government agencies and corporations for protecting nature in Ontario.
