Oak
Ridges Moraine Foundation
The core purpose of the Foundation is to
provide support and encouragement for activities that
preserve, protect, and restore the environmental integrity
of the Oak Ridges Moraine and support a trail along it.
The Foundation operates primarily by funding the work
of others and through offering leadership or coordination
for Moraine-wide activities where appropriate. The Foundation
also sees itself as a convener, bringing people and interests
together to identify common ground, and as a funding partner.
The Foundation will encourage all activities that are
consistent with its core purpose and objects and with
the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.

Monitoring and Assessment Network (EMAN), Environment Canada
The main goal of the Ecological Monitoring and Assessment
Network (EMAN) is to improve understanding of ecosystem
changes in Canada - what is changing and why by examining
integrated data and knowledge sets. The network is moving
towards the ability to report on ecological changes and
providing interdisciplinary and/or inter-jurisdictional
assessments of ecosystem status, trends and processes on
an ecozone or national basis. EMAN faces a continuing challenge
to produce science-based and policy relevant reports on
ecological status and trends in a timely fashion - better
linking science to decision-making.
