Programas para propietarios de tierras

La cuenca hidrográfica de Conservation Halton está formada por muchas zonas naturales, como arroyos, riachuelos, humedales, bosques, praderas y campos, así como formaciones geológicas, que sustentan una rica diversidad de plantas y animales. Además de proporcionar un hábitat para la vida silvestre y oportunidades de recreo, estas áreas naturales apoyan la calidad del agua, el aire y el suelo, la gestión de las inundaciones, la erosión y la sequía, el almacenamiento de carbono y la resistencia a los impactos del cambio climático.

Conservation Halton is incredibly thankful to the landowners who make a commitment to protecting the natural features on their property through the Watershed Stewardship Award. Signs indicating that a landowner has received the Watershed Stewardship Award can be found throughout the watershed, usually at the end of a driveway or laneway.

The annual Watershed Stewards Appreciation Day was held on Septiembre 10, 2023, in partnership with Hamilton Conservation Authority. This year’s event recognized the outstanding efforts of local landowners in environmental stewardship and introduced the 12 recipients of the 2023 Watershed Stewardship Award, including four winners in Conservation Halton’s watershed:

Bill Grierson & Family

Sherman Sand & Gravel Ltd.

Jennifer & Tim Pahapill

Sarah Wakefield & Colin McMullan

Recipients of the 2023 Watershed Stewardship Awards
