The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve was designated by UNESCO in November 2002.  It is one of over 500 Biosphere Reserves throughout the world.  The Biosphere Reserve extends roughly 2700 square kilometers 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 integrated and effective approach to living on earth.
