CONE’s World Biosphere Reserve Road Sign Campaign Written by CONE Member-at-Large, Josh Gordon After celebrating its 20th anniversary back in the early 2000’s CONE launched its Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere Reserve road sign campaign. These signs, which you may have seen on your travels through the biosphere, are placed in specific entrance points along roads which enter a Niagara Escarpment Plan area. Individual members and supporters of CONE generously contributed funds to see their own road sign placed in these significant areas. It has been two years since CONE has had any of the signs put up but we are now proudly re-introducing this campaign with the support of the Niagara Escarpment Commission. Why a road sign you ask? These road signs act as a public education tool which promotes UNESCO’s World Biosphere Reserve designation but also promotes Niagara Escarpment communities throughout Ontario. We are currently taking an inventory of the signs we have out there and signs that currently need to be replaced. If you know of a specific location of a road sign that will need to be replaced, send us an email. To make your own contribution to this project contact CONE President, Robert Patrick at president@niagaraescarpment.org.
