CORE (Conserve Our Rural Environment) is an incorporated organization formed in 2002 to respond to the threat of a proposed gravel pit on the east side of Airport Road, south of County Road 21. Over the years, however, CORE has found itself responding to a number of additional and different threats to the Township of Mulmur: wind turbines too close to rural residences; loss of protection for the Niagara Escarpment so important that it is recognized as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, and working with our elected officials at the Township, the County and the Province, to ensure protection of our aquifers, our forests and our economy. The Township of Mulmur understands that the economy, different from many other areas of the province, is not based solely on agriculture or industry, but also on recreational amenity, and residential development which is based on that amenity.

CORE Needs Your Help:

CORE members are those who have donated, volunteered time or other resources to support appropriate development, and to oppose inappropriate or impactful changes to the Township of Mulmur. As a volunteer organization, we attempt to limit expenses, but are prepared to retain and pay for expert advice as required.

At any time, donations to support CORE’s work are appreciated. Cheques can be made out to CORE and sent to our Treasurer, Norm MacEachern at RR#3, Shelburne, ON, L0N 1S7.
