The Save Ontario Savannas project was initiated in 2001 to fulfill key objectives of the Tallgrass Communities of Southern Ontario Recovery Plan:

• To encourage tallgrass habitat conservation and maintenance by identifying and supporting landowners of tallgrass and savanna remnants to commit to and take action to protect, enhance and expand their sites. A remnant/community approach is designed to benefit multiple species at risk and prevent other associated species from becoming at risk.
• To enable landowners and their neighbours and community to become actively involved in stewardship of tallgrass and savanna sites in their geographic area.
• To develop a comprehensive database of tallgrass and savanna sites, providing benchmarks against which the remnant can be evaluated and tracked over time. Such information will allow provision of support and intervention to help maintain and expand sites.
