Partner Organizations
A Shared Land-Based Ecosystem
The Model
One protected property on the Niagara Escarpment. Five organizations. A shared commitment to land, learning, and ecological responsibility.
Wilde Land Conservation and Education Corporation holds and stewards land so that mission-aligned organizations can deliver education, conservation, science, early childhood programming, restoration, and community impact.
Kimbercote is the flagship example of this model.

The Role of Wilde Land
Wilde Land provides the conservation foundation. The partner organizations bring the land to life.
Wilde Land holds and stewards the land. The organizations working on it deliver education, science, restoration, and programming. The land is shared. The work is distinct.
The result is a campus where land protection, education, and ecological restoration happen on the same ground, at the same time.
