You can make a difference today for the future of nature in the Kawarthas.
With your support, Kawartha Land Trust is protecting the natural and working lands of the Kawarthas for future generations. We can never predict when the opportunity to save more land from unsustainable development will occur — when a natural gem of the Kawarthas will go up for sale. However, through your generous gifts, we can act fast and protect even more of the land you love.
Here is a list of current KLT conservation projects that you can support:
You Can Protect Nature in Trent Lakes
Your gift can help protect a 435-acre property that is surrounded on three sides by Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. Just north of Buckhorn, this ecologically significant land is home to granite barrens, vernal pools, and over a kilometre of virtually untouched shoreline along the Mississauga River.
After being owned by one family for generations, this land is now for sale. KLT has submitted an offer, but if we do not raise the necessary funds in time, it could be lost forever.
We have received an extension on the original deadline. KLT has until July 16, 2025, to raise 1.6M to protect this land forever.
