Home to over 1,500 species of plants and animals, the Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System is a protected, permanent and connected natural lands sanctuary from the Hamilton Harbour to the Niagara Escarpment.But there has been a missing link in the properties. Now is our chance to complete the connection and create a natural corridor between Cootes Paradise and the Escarpment. Your donation will protect this land forever.Since 2013, we’ve acquired over 200 acres to build on the 4700 acres of existing protected lands.
