Greetings Carolinian Canada members & allies,
This is a pivotal time for southwestern Ontario. Pressures to local ecosystems are accumulating across the region and threatening the health of our communities.
As Chair of the Carolinian Canada Coalition, I invite you to cast a "vote for healthy landscapes" through a new donor program we're launching. Join me as one of 100 founders of our new Carolinian Canada Friendsprogram and we will grow your donation in dollars and actions. Read on and you'll see how.
The environment was never front page news during the recent federal election campaign. We have known for some time that public resources for nature conservation are drying up, and that trend is likely to continue. If we can't look to our governments to make the necessary investments, we have to look elsewhere. We have to look to our FRIENDS.
As individual, family or group, your pledge of $100 as a Carolinian Canada Friends Founder will translate into up to $1,000 worth of green programs and actions that are powerful community drivers of positive change. The greater number of Friends, the greater the leverage factor.
Carolinian Canada Friends will receive special invitations – for eco-tours with recognized experts, launch events, to see our programs in action, and other one-of-a-kind experiences. Our long-term plan for conservation is science-based, collaborative and realistic. Currently, we are:
- Collaborating with health, economy and culture sectors to save the natural wealth of this region through our Coastal and Ecosystem programs: The Friend fund will establish a sustainable base that will grow up to 10-fold by attracting local partners that in turn are matched by provincial, federal and corporate supporters.
- Building the capacity of hundreds of groups and communities in Biodiversity Hotspots to stewardrare species and habitats: Our landowner, community and youth allies will leverage your action up to 10-fold through our habitat action pledge program.
- Growing a global model for landscape conservation by seeding ambitious and visionary ideas with diverse partners: Your donation leverages healthy ecosystems, healthy communities and sustainable economies.
Best of all, by investing in Carolinian Canada in 2011, you will be one of our 100 founders of Carolinian Canada Friends for a greener future in southwestern Ontario. With a network of over 1,200 individuals and organizations behind us, we know we can be a positive force in helping to create a vibrant, ecologically-resilient region.
Join me, as we take the next step toward a greener future. Donate $100 by May 27 to launch our newCarolinian Canada Friends program and you will receive special recognition at our annual meeting and in media across the zone.
Carolinian Canada Friends also receive a one-year membership, a charitable receipt, special event invitations - plus the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a real difference in greening the future of southwestern Ontario.
I look forward to counting you among our core supporters. Simply explore our Carolinian Canada Friends pageto get started.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gordon Nelson,
Chair
