Aย place of restoration, inspiration, and preparation
The Brooksdale Environmental Centre is a place of transformation. The flagshipย project of A Rocha Canada, Brooksdale is one of the most dynamic Christianย environmental centres in North America. Brooksdaleโs 18-acre property is aย living lab comprised of forests, a threatened river system, organicย gardens, and heritage houses. This unique combination of sensitiveย wildlife habitat and agricultural land makes Brooksdale more than aย showpiece, but a place where critical environmental issues are researched,ย addressed, and solved. In addition to running a guest house for overnightย retreats, we welcome Tatalu Conservation Residents and volunteers to join in our work.
