If you had a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in your community, would you do everything you could to safeguard it? In fact, Burlington’s escarpment is part of the Province of Ontario’s Green Belt AND a Unesco World Biosphere Reserve. It is home to a diversity of species (including the at-risk Jefferson salamander), vital farmland, valuable parklands and conservation areas and important aquifers (water sources).

Is this worth protecting? We think so, and if you do too, we ask you to stand with PERL and CORE Burlington, non-profit organization of volunteers united to protect the beautiful and biodiverse Mt. Nemo area.

Show your support by ordering a lawn sign from CORE, and email or write to the Mayor and Burlington Council Members to voice your support for the protection of this important area.

BurlingtonGreen is a non-partisan, solution-focused organization. Together with the community we work to advance our mission to protect the environment, mitigate climate change and create a healthier more environmentally responsible Burlington.

Acknowledging – Honouring – Acting

In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and
we recognize this land as being home and the traditional territory to Indigenous people since time
immemorial.

We honour all past and present First Nation, Métis and Inuit people, and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth. We join them in honouring and respecting the land, waters, plants, animals, four directions, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.

BurlingtonGreen has much to learn from Indigenous People and we encourage everyone to continually learn from and about the Indigenous community where you live, and how we can each meaningfully honour the calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation.
