Conservation Halton Campaign

CONNECTED GROWING OUR GREENPRINT
Join us as we create a greener, healthier and more resilient future

Our communities are growing, and so is our need for nature.

Conservation Halton’s greenprint safeguards 10,000 acres of forests, trails, wetlands, meadows, creeks, and other natural spaces in one of Ontario’s most beautiful and ecologically diverse watersheds. Our conservation areas are vital to our growing communities, connecting thousands of people with nature every day while promoting a healthy watershed.

The Connected Campaign will protect and enhance our essential greenprint to serve our communities today and in the future.
