Update on the Highlands Corridor
Thursday, July 20 at 7:00pm at the Minden Hills Cultural Centre. Pre-registration required, registration will open in early June.
Through extensive research, the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT) has identified a significant wildlife corridor covering over 100,000 hectares of unceded public and private land, rich with wetlands, forest, wildlife communities, species at risk and deep carbon deposits. Connecting 3 provincial parks, the corridor offers a nature-based solution to building climate change resilience, protecting lands and waters, and maintaining biodiversity. Join us to hear more about this corridor and learn about the Land Trust's strategy to protect it.
