MTRI is a non-profit charitable organization, which promotes environmental research and education in the rural communities of the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, especially throughout Queens County and around Caledonia.
As a community charity, we create ongoing fundraisers to generate revenue to support staff and volunteers as they learn and share their knowledge about the local environment.
