The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve extends roughly 2700 square kilometres in the south eastern portion of the Canadian Province of Ontario.  

We accomplish our work by networking natural and historic conservation organisations, economic and social development groups, as well as the educational and scientific communities located within the Frontenac Arch region.   Locally, we are known as the Biosphere Network.  Collectively, the Biosphere Network helps guide the community towards a more sustainable approach to living on earth.
