Alvar Conservation Group

Alvar Conservation Group is an organization dedicated to protecting and preserving alvar landscapes—unique, open, limestone ecosystems found mainly in parts of Canada. These areas are characterized by thin or poor soil, supporting specialized plant and animal life. The group works to conserve these fragile habitats through research, advocacy, and management practices that prevent development and environmental degradation. Their efforts help maintain biodiversity, support ecosystem health, and ensure that these distinctive landscapes remain preserved for future generations.
