The rare Charitable Research Reserve is a 900+ acre urban land trust and environmental institute situated at the confluence of the Grand and Speed Rivers. The reserve is a beautiful and culturally significant landscape rich in biodiversity and important riparian habitat. We strive to preserve the land for future generations by focusing on conservation, research and education.
The 2016 Walk & Run for rare is our seventh annual family-friendly event in support of rare. The fun-run component will follow the Grand Trunk trail for 5km, and walkers will have the option to off-shoot onto smaller side trails where interpretive stops will be set up. Kicking things off at Riverbluffs Park in Cambridge, participants will follow the trails along the Grand River to our rare ECO Centre where we will celebrate our achievements with a BBQ and entertainment. Participation is free, and 100% of funds raised go to protecting. The event is on September 25th, 2016.
