As a land trust community, we recognize that for generations Indigenous people stewarded and continue to steward the lands that we now know as Canada.
OLTA has curated a growing collection of resources - olta.ca/indigenous-l....

Across Ontario, many land trusts are stewarding forests, wetlands, grasslands, and shorelines with small teams, dedicated volunteers, and limited capacity.
Consider making a gift to help strengthen stewardship, learning, and conservation across Ontario. www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/147185
Celebrating OLTA's Conserving Species at Risk program! Since 2023, over 110 hectares of grasslands, wetlands and alvar have been restored through direct actions in this program alone.

Recently, Northumberland Land Trust celebrated the opening of Inscape Nature Reserve!
Donated by Jim and Ann Purvis, the majority of the property is identified as a provincially significant wetland and is home to at least eight species at risk including the Least Bittern and Red-headed Woodpecker.
Great news! The Bruce Trail Conservancy has recently received a Rainbow Registered accreditation! 🏳️🌈
BTC has made dedicated efforts to promote inclusivity and belonging, including trans inclusion training for staff and hike leaders.
