保护哈尔顿流域由许多自然区域组成，包括小溪、河流、湿地、森林、草原和田野以及地质构造，它们支持丰富的植物和动物。除了为野生动物提供栖息地和娱乐的机会，这些自然区域还支持水、空气和土壤质量、洪水、侵蚀和干旱管理、碳储存和对气候变化影响的复原力。
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 9月 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:
Sarah Wakefield & Colin McMullan
