Introducing the Highlands Corridor
Date: Thursday, July 20 (7:00pm to 9:30pm)
Location: Minden Cultural Centre
Please join the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust to learn more about our exciting new initiative to protect the Highlands Corridor. This area is a significant wildlife corridor covering over 100,000 hectares of unceded public and private land connecting three provincial parks: Queen Elizabeth II, Kawartha Highlands and Silent Lake. Rich with wetlands, forest, wildlife
communities, species at risk and deep carbon deposits, the Highlands Corridor offers a nature-based solution to building climate change resilience, protecting lands and waters, and
maintaining biodiversity.
Wildlife Biologist, Paul Heaven, will present a review of the ecological significance and values of the Highlands Corridor. Land Trust Chair, Shelley Hunt, will explain the Land Trust’s strategies for protecting this valuable corridor.
Learn how you can help support the protection of this important wildlife corridor in Haliburton
County. Protecting the Highlands Corridor is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to Canada’s commitment of protecting 30% of lands and waters by 2030.
