Designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990, the Niagara Escarpment is one of the “gems” of the Greenbelt, the pride of the region and a natural feature worth preserving and enhancing.
The project creates the Water Research Network and Escarpment Kids to help fulfill the organization’s mission of conducting research and education in the region. Further, the project strengthens this charitable organization, enabling them to address key issues related to the escarpment, while building key partnerships with the public, private sector, conservation authorities, and educators.
