Protecting Escarpment Rural Land (PERL) co-founded by singer/song writer Sarah Harmer has introduced a declaration which calls on governments to establish a sustainable natural heritage system across Mount Nemo to redesignate it to ensure its protection.

Along with about 20 other environmental organizations, including Greenpeace and the David Suzuki Foundation, BurlingtonGreen has signed the Declaration to support this important vision. See declaration here.

Adopt a Jefferson Salamander to support local Niagara Escarpment Protection

The OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) could overrule the City of Burlington, Region of Halton as well as The Niagara Escarpment Commission's decisions that said "NO" to a new quarry in the Mount Nemo area.

Mount Nemo is Burlington's backyard. Don't let open pit mining destroy this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve that's home to threatened species, valuable woodlands and wetlands.
Help to protect the home of the threatened Jefferson Salamanders : Don't let the OMB overrule your local government's decision to reject open pit mining on Mount Nemo.

By adopting a salamander you can help PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Lands) hire experts to prove to the Province that Mount Nemo is worth protecting. Learn more here.
