Association for Canadian Educational Resources Details
The Association for Canadian Educational Resources empowers communities to monitor, measure, mitigate, and adapt to the impacts of climate change. We engage with communities to improve their health and the health of their urban forest. We use international monitoring protocols to measure trees we plant, which promotes collaboration and a deeper understanding of our changing climate. We engage school groups from grades K to 12 and provide STEM-related curriculum materials.Our ProgramsPlanting for Change is a long-term tree planting, measuring, and monitoring initiative conducted with students in their schoolyards. Since the program began in 2008, we have planted at more than 60 schools in Ontario. Project Crossroads is a post-COVID-19 initiative and expansion of our Planting for Change program. It's a long-term tree planting, measuring, and monitoring initiative that extends to nonprofit agencies, faith-based groups, and service organizations.Riparian Rangers pairs volunteers with partnering conservation authorities to plant, measure, monitor, and collect data on trees planted within 50 meters of a watercourse. We have partnered with 13 conservation authorities across the province, and the data collected from our projects has been invaluable in determining methodologies for green infrastructure, as well as developing climate change mitigation strategies.Go Global is a network of one-hectare forest plots across Ontario, established using a protocol developed by the Smithsonian Institution. These plots demonstrate the effectiveness of local monitoring and reporting of environmental change in long-term forest biodiversity monitoring programs.In addition to our programs, we provide many distance-learning materials on our website, from word searches and quizzes to our tree measuring training videos.Connect with us on other social media platforms!Twitter: @AcerAcreFacebook: @ClimateSakeCharitable Number: 890642515 RR 0001
