A Greener Future

Kingston and Area Seed System (KASSI) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to facilitating the development of a regional agricultural seed system. KASSI is responsible for stewarding over 200 open-pollinated, heirloom varieties. Our organization is made up of dedicated volunteers that are passionate about gardening, seed saving and the future food security of the Kingston region.

The Algonquin to Adirondacks Collaborative (A2A) is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing a critical wildlife corridor connecting Algonquin Park in Ontario and Adirondack Park in New York. We formed from the recognition that conserving this globally significant landscape—one of the last large-scale, intact forest and wetland linkages in Eastern North America—requires a collaborative, grassroots effort. As a backbone organization, we facilitate collaboration, research, and project development among a wide array of local partners, including land trusts, Indigenous groups, community associations, and academic institutions. Our work is driven by a deep understanding of local ecosystems and community needs, ensuring that our conservation efforts are both science-based and locally rooted.  

Secondhand Stories Chicken Sanctuary is a non-profit sanctuary in Perth, ON, dedicated to providing lifelong care for rescued farmed chickens. Our mission is to inspire compassion for chickens through rescue, advocacy, and education.
