Monitoring the Moraine is a collaboration between Save the Oak Ridges Moraine (STORM) Coalition and EcoSpark (formerly Citizens' Environment Watch) . We are building a movement of engaged and informed communities to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine. Since 2005, we have worked with over 2,650 people on the Oak Ridges Moraine.

On the Ground. We help volunteers to better understand the Oak Ridges Moraine, why it is important to protect, and how it is being protected. We give you the information, tools and support to monitor the moraine at a local level.

Across the Moraine. We work with colleges and universities, conservation authorities, governments, and other environmental organizations to generate and distribute information about the Oak Ridges Moraine at the regional and landscape level.

Monitoring for Change. We track changes in the moraine at different levels to determine what's working, what areas need improvement, and how we can take an active part in protecting the Oak Ridges Moraine for present and future generations.
