Lower Trent Conservation
Did You Know?

On average, Conservation Authorities plant more than 2M trees annually through their various tree planting programs and stewardship initiatives. This work helps to mitigate climate change by moderating the effects of drought and flooding, reducing soil erosion, reducing GHGs, sequestering carbon, providing habitat for wildlife, creating recreational opportunities, and providing an essential economic resource.

 

Education

Lower Trent Conservation recognizes that the students of today are the environmental stewards of tomorrow. Through a variety of educational activities, young people are educated about the importance of environmental protection and stewardship of our watershed.

Our youth environmental programs are not funded through traditional government sources. These programs are only possible through donations and grants. Our ‘Connecting KIDS with NATURE’ programs include a variety of youth environmental education programs like the Tri-County Children’s Water Festival, In Class Programming, and Spring Water Awareness.
