- Wintergreen Studios is an environmental education and wilderness retreat center located in South Frontenac, Ontario, Canada. Established in 2007, Wintergreen's programs focus on culture, education, and the environment. Programs are delivered at their year-round off-the-grid facilities. Wintergreen Studios promotes community and corporate mindful living, by offering sustainable facilities for events and delivering educational programs that invite participants to discover themselves and explore their nature connection. The largest program is the Annual Land Art BioBlitz, which draws hundreds of visitors to Wintergreen over the course of 5 days each spring. Wintergreen Studios is a charity and not-for-profit organization, that receives funding from individual donors and grants. Additional funding comes from program fees, facility rental fees, and the sale of books from Wintergreen Studios Press. Wintergreen supports local sustainability and environmental education initiatives both financially and through in-kind assistance. Their partners include Queen's University, Pathways to Education, Sustainable Eastern Ontario, and the Wintergreen Renewable Energy Co-operative. Wintergreen also relies on a voluntary team to maintain the facility and assist with program delivery. (en)
