About rare:
rare is a community-based urban land trust and environmental institute that protects over 1,550 acres of natural lands across ten locations in Waterloo Region and Wellington County. Conservation is our priority, promoting a biodiverse and sustainable world for everyone’s health and wellbeing, now and for the future. Everything is connected—as a land trust and environmental institute, rare’s ultimate goal is to make the world a more sustainable place. We do this by making the environment relevant in people’s lives through conservation, research and education in ways that are inclusive of different worldviews and all forms of inquiry. This includes interdisciplinary art programming such as the Eastern Comma Artist-in- Residence and Question Mark Fellowship, and The Long Dash Festival, all delivered in partnership with The Musagetes Foundation. Through these growing art programs, rare engages artists and communities in critical inquiry, knowledge exchange, and reflection on human–environment relationships.
