Proteger, conectar, inspirar

La Fundación para la Conservación de Halton es una organización benéfica registrada que trabaja para proteger nuestras áreas naturales, conectar nuestra comunidad con la naturaleza e inspirar a individuos y grupos para crear un cambio significativo.

¿Quieres ayudar a la Fundación Conservación Halton a marcar la diferencia?

When you donate your time or money, you protect environmentally significant areas in our watershed, restore areas that have been ecologically damaged, help wildlife species that are at risk, provide opportunities for the community to connect with nature and create education programs to inspire the next generation. We know that nurturing an appreciation for nature and teaching about environmental issues is a powerful way to overcome the challenges we face today, like climate change, and prepare for the challenges of the future.


With your donations, and with the support of our partners, we recently accomplished the following:

  • Renewed areas for learning and recreation at Mountsberg, including adding a new, accessible boardwalk and connecting dock, upgrading trails and gathering spaces, and enhancing the park’s natural playground.
  • Improved accessibility at Kelso with renovated visitor amenities and the purchase of mobile-accessible mats and all-terrain wheelchairs for guest use.
  • Restored more than 1,950 metres of creek-side habitat, planted over 12,800 native trees and shrubs, and generated 160+ community volunteer hours through “restoration workdays”.
  • Engaged more than 3,600 elementary school students during the Halton Children’s Water Festival and 600+ high school volunteers.
  • Enhanced the gardens at Crawford Lake to support community engagement and to help thousands of visitors learn about Indigenous food sovereignty, heritage seed saving, and the resilience of traditional Indigenous agricultural practices.

Blue Gala logo

 

Each year, we host a gala fundraiser where community members and organizations come together to raise awareness and funds for specific Conservation Halton initiatives. Our most recent gala was held at Kelso Conservation Area on Junio 13, 2024.  Thanks to the support of our sponsors, donors and guests, the Blue Gala raised over $280,000 for projects that will restore and enhance local creeks, streams and wetlands.

Visit our 2024 image gallery to view photos from the Blue Gala, or view photos from last year’s Omnia gala and our 2022 event, Re:Generations.

Hacer una donación a la Fundación Conservación Halton a través de su testamento es una forma significativa de proteger el medio ambiente para las generaciones futuras. Haga clic aquí para obtener más información sobre cómo puede incluir una donación en su testamento.

Hacer una donación de valores o acciones que cotizan en bolsa es una de las formas menos costosas de donar porque su donación está exenta del impuesto sobre las ganancias de capital, mientras que usted recibe un recibo a efectos del impuesto sobre la renta por el valor total de mercado de las acciones en la fecha de la transferencia.

Additional Information

La Fundación Conservación Halton es una organización asociada a Conservación Halton y recaudamos donaciones benéficas y patrocinios para proyectos y programas medioambientales en la cuenca hidrográfica de Halton, que benefician a los residentes de Mississauga, Oakville, Milton, Burlington, Puslinch, Halton Hills y sus alrededores.

Recaudamos fondos para comprar terrenos naturales con el fin de crear nuevas zonas de conservación y mejorar las áreas protegidas existentes para que las futuras generaciones las disfruten. Trabajamos para mejorar las áreas naturales plantando árboles y arbustos para proporcionar un hábitat y estabilizar las riberas de los arroyos. Nuestros esfuerzos de administración tienen como objetivo proteger y restaurar áreas naturales y cursos de agua de importancia medioambiental.

La educación medioambiental es un componente fundamental en el desarrollo de ciudadanos sanos y con conciencia ecológica. Con iniciativas como el Festival Infantil del Agua de Halton, y programas como From the Ground Up, estamos trabajando para educar e inspirar a nuestros jóvenes a preservar, proteger y disfrutar de nuestro entorno natural. Nuestro Centro de Aves Rapaces de Mountsberg ofrece a los jóvenes una experiencia única de primera mano para concienciarles sobre la diversidad de las aves rapaces autóctonas de Ontario y los retos a los que se enfrentan.

Each year more than 100,000 visitors come to Crawford Lake to experience the First Nations heritage at the Crawford Lake Village on our sites, and celebrate the region’s unique geological and cultural significance.

Nuestras zonas de conservación, como el lago Crawford, Mountsberg, Kelso y otras, ofrecen cada año a cientos de miles de amantes de las actividades al aire libre actividades recreativas y de renovación basadas en la naturaleza.
