May is also the month of the Couchiching Conservancy’s annual Carden Challenge, when teams of keen amateur naturalists compete to find as many species as possible over a 24-hour period.
It’s Event Season! Join the Passport, Challenge & Walk
Birding, Walking, Biodiversity and Wilderness. Take part in some of the great upcoming events to connect with nature in our neighbourhood!
Membership: Meaningful in Many Ways
Members often become volunteers because they grow more and more interested in this work and are inspired to take part in every aspect of it. There is nothing more humbling than nature, and nothing more empowering than protecting it.
This is a Community Striving for High Ideals
Running a charitable venture may be among the hungriest of business pursuits.
You have no widgets to sell; you can’t ratchet up sales by improving your product line. Your customers are your employers, so you hope to get it right every time. Good will is, after all, easily transportable.
‘Tis the season for giving back
Everywhere you look there are sparkly lights, holiday events and Christmas shoppers. I think Orillia must be one of the most generous communities around – one reason why I love living here.
You did it! 25 monthly givers triggered $5,000!
Thanks to the kindness of 25 monthly givers, a $5,000 gift has been triggered in support of our conservation efforts.
Challenge Gift: Canadian Charitable Giving Landscape
As a longtime resident of Orillia and Simcoe County, I’ve watched our community grow, change and develop over time. Some of my favourite places in town – restaurants, stores, forests and playgrounds –are still here while others have been replaced or removed entirely.
Challenge Gift: 25 Monthly Givers triggers $5,000!

Making a win-win gift through The Heartwood Fund
For Gord and Jane Ball, making a gift to the Conservancy was a win-win. The Couchiching-Severn landscapes form the backdrop of our family’s life and history, and as such are a part of who we are. Our adult children return here to reconnect with the natural spaces they call “home”.
