About the Land Trust
Mission
Haliburton Highlands Land Trust is a non-profit, non-governmental registered charity. Its mission is to protect the natural heritage of Haliburton County for future generations.
Goals
The Haliburton Highlands Land Trust will work to conserve the plants, wildlife and clean water of Haliburton County to ensure a legacy of forests, fields and wetlands, and the species they nurture. The Haliburton Highlands Land Trust will do this by:
- Identifying significant lands and waters of natural or cultural value;
- Working cooperatively with individuals, groups and government to identify, manage and/or research areas of interest;
- Acquiring significant properties and/or conservation easements through donation or purchase;
- Encouraging private and government sectors to set aside significant natural areas.
History
As a result of increasing pressures on vulnerable ecosystems, the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust was formed in 2005 to assist with conservation of these lands.
