Kawartha Land Trust

Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) is a dynamic land conservation charity.  Their mission is to care for the lands entrusted to them and help others protect the land they love in the Kawarthas.

They create nature reserves for future generations by acquiring ecologically important properties and/or interests in properties. They also enhance their stewardship of the land by engaging landowners in land care initiatives through their Partners in Conservation program.

Founded in 2001, KLT protects 44 properties that include more than 8,100 acres of ecologically diverse lands, some of which include hiking trails that introduce thousands of people to nature in the Kawarthas every year. 

KLT works within the Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig Territory and we are dedicated to continuing to create meaningful connections and relationships with First Nations communities in our region as we build upon these connections.
