Grasslands Ontario's Grasslands Stewardship Initiative

Our mission

The Grasslands Stewardship Initiative provides support for the creation, enhancement, and maintenance of grassland habitats across Ontario. This initiative aims to protect and recover populations of local species at risk (such as the Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark), while providing added benefits that improve ecosystem services, such as improved soil quality and carbon capture. To date, we have collaborated with 44 organizations working towards restoring more than 640 hectares of grassland ecosystems and maintaining 940 hectares of wildlife habitat.
