The Long Point Biosphere Region (LPBR) is seeking new members to serve on its Board of Directors in positions that include that of Vice-Chair.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Man and Biosphere program designated the Long Point area as a Biosphere in 1991 because of its unique biodiversity, iconic landscapes,
The LPBR is the operating name of a non-profit registered Canadian charity promoting research, monitoring, community outreach, education, partnerships, and projects that support the goals of biodiversity, conservation and sustainable communities in Norfolk County, Ontario.

The entire county shares in our region’s designation as a World Biosphere Reserve. The designation comes from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) under its Man and Biosphere program.

Board members serve without remuneration typically for three-year terms in a process prescribed by the Biosphere’s By-Law. They provide strategic direction to the organization, review its financial statements, and play an active role in fund development as well as other functions aligned with good governance and accountability. Here is our current Board membership.

We welcome applications from anyone with an interest in our mandate, but we can benefit from skills in program management, fund development, science, marketing, communications, law, and finance.
