We are a grassroots conservation organization dedicated to protecting and maintaining the ecological integrity of natural landscapes. This includes protecting biodiversity as well as the archaeological and cultural aspects of the landscape.

Our wildlife and ecosystems can't protect themselves, and that's why we're here

Earthroots' work began by fighting for the preservation of rare old-growth white and red pine forests in the Temagami region of Northern Ontario 37 years ago. We realized that there were more fights to be fought and have been on this mission ever since.

About us

Become a "Land Scout" for Ontario's Greenbelt!

We want to stop the destruction of farmland and natural areas in the Greenbelt. Earthroots is partnering up with the volunteer led organization, Greenbelt Guardians, to find local Land Scouts for the Greenbelt. If you are interested in monitoring the threatened lands, sign up below!

Our work is made possible by our 12,000+ friends and supporters
