Adopt an Acre
Since 1996, Adopt An Acre has stood as a beacon of community-driven conservation, embodying the spirit of environmental stewardship within the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers, and Prince Edward County. Adopt An Acre is more than just a fundraiser; it is a testament to the power of community involvement in preserving and maintaining our conservation areas.
Participation in Adopt An Acre is a simple yet powerful process. Individuals, families and businesses can become stewards of Quinte Conservation's natural landscape by symbolically adopting an acre in exchange for a donation. When you Adopt An Acre, your symbolic gift ensures that these vital green spaces remain a cherished asset to the community.
Every Adopt An Acre donation comes with a certificate and tax receipt.
- 1 acre = $30 (includes certificate and tax receipt)
- 2 acres = $60 (includes certificate, exclusive QC plush forest animal, and tax receipt)
- 4 acres = $120 (includes certificate, limited edition 10oz Yeti, and tax receipt)

2026 Adopt An Acre is supporting
The H.R. Frink's restored pond with Native Plantings
This year's fundraiser will support the H.R. Frink's Pond Project.
Through partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada and funding from Enbridge earlier in 2026, Quinte Conservation was able to rehabilitate a pond at the H.R. Frink Conservation Area. This year's Adopt an Acre proceeds will support the pond project through native plantings that will help to diversify and enrich pond habitat to establish a strong and resilient ecosystem.
The Frink Centre is an outdoor environmental education facility located in the conservation area at 381 Thrasher Rd, Plainfield. Students and community groups can explore local ecosystems and learn about the natural environment. Through hands-on outdoor learning, visitors can discover the connections between plants, water, wildlife and healthy ecosystems.
Your Adopt an Acre donation will support the Frink Pond project, helping to improve habitat and enhance outdoor, environmental education.
