Tallgrass Ontario applauds…

Tallgrass Ontario applauds the work being done to monitor, protect, and support the Davis’s Shieldback populations and their habitat. Tallgrass Ontario would like to assist in the recovery of the Davis's Shieldback and would welcome being contacted to support recovery efforts. Tallgrass Ontario hopes that the province will provide funding for the support of these efforts, and that planning decisions will reflect the need to protect these populations.

Tallgrass Ontario was established in 1999 to coordinate work by groups wishing to undertake conservation programs that would implement the Recovery Plan for Grassland Communities of Southern Ontario. The Recovery plan lists hundreds of tallgrass and oak savanna species, many of which are identified as threatened, endangered or extirpated.
