The mission of The Chain Collaborative is to co-create opportunities and strengthen capacities for community-led change in the coffee sector. Through our central program, the Community-Led Development Incubator, we build relationships with local leaders in coffee-growing regions, cultivate their project design and management skills, and foster the development of their farming enterprises. This work allows global communities to combat intergenerational poverty and marginalization in the coffee sector on their own terms, and according to their own visions for change. In addition to our Community-Led Development Incubator, we offer Courses and Consulting Services, and engage in other coffee industry collaborations, in order to maximize our impact across the value stream.

The Project’s earlier emphasis on environmental and sustainability education for younger learners has broadened in more recent years to encompass the learning needs of the whole community, including those that can be met through community activities and programs for the adult learner.

The Kensington Conservancy is a land trust that works to protect lands and waters by purchasing property, accepting donations of land, and through voluntary conservation agreements. These protection methods are all aimed at protecting our precious landscape in perpetuity. The Kensington Conservancy believes that conservation and preservation can also be achieved through the good stewardship practices of all property owners. We work with local landowners, farmers, governments, schools and other organizations to develop programs that will promote greener and less intensive development, best land and water management practices, invasive species control, and low impact recreational activities. Our Vision is to inspire all members of the North Channel community to embrace positive conservation values that will promote the protection and preservation of natural ecosystems for all generations.

Metchosin’s coast, meadows, forest, woodlands and mountainous areas include some of Canada’s rarest species and ecosystems. Being located in the rainshadow of the Olympic Mountains has produced a mild, seasonally dry climate that favours flora and fauna that are unique in Canada. Our Garry oak woodland is one of the rarest ecosystems in Canada, featuring displays of camas and fawn lilies that draw admirers from far and wide. The remnant old growth Coastal Douglas-fir forests at Mary Hill and Rocky Point are considered globally significant. The Metchosin Foundation was started in order to preserve our rare species and the forests and meadows that they inhabit. To that end we work with landowners to ensure that the landscapes they love will be protected into the future. Facilitating and supporting conservation covenants is the main tool at our disposal to help preserve these ecosystems.

Since 1993, we have helped protect over 11,000 acres of special natural lands in central Ontario; north Simcoe County and Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes. Properties and conservation easements have been donated to us by individuals with a great love for nature. We also manage properties owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Our goal is to protect natural lands by: • accepting donations of significant lands to manage as nature reserves • entering into conservation easements with willing owners to legally restrict future development • working cooperatively with other organizations to acquire or manage ecological lands • engaging private landowners and volunteers in positive conservation actions • increasing local knowledge and awareness about natural heritage conservation

At The Conservation Fund, we combine a passion for conservation with an entrepreneurial spirit to protect your favorite places before they become just a memory. A hallmark of our work is our deep, unwavering understanding that for conservation solutions to last, they need to make economic sense. Top-ranked, we have protected nearly 7 million acres across America. www.conservationfund.org(http://www.conservationfund.org/)
