Rouge Valley Conservation Centre

 

The Rouge Valley Conservation Centre is owned and operated by the Rouge Valley Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization established in 1984, dedicated to protecting, restoring and enhancing the natural and cultural heritage of the Rouge Valley. This is achieved through a variety of restoration and rehabilitation projects and through educational programming.


With wide community support, the Foundation restored the historic Pearse House, a century home situated on the edge of the Rouge Valley and converted it into the Rouge Valley Conservation Centre.

The Centre conducts environmental restoration, monitoring and research and offers interpretive walks and educational programs for the general public, school and community groups and it is the home to local non-profit, volunteer group Citizen Scientists.
