Who We Are
Kawartha Conservation is a partnership of watershed municipalities who balance environmental capacity and human need. We manage natural resource features that are essential for sustaining water quality and quantity, through watershed planning, stewardship, environmental monitoring and research, as well as management of conservation and natural areas.
We are a watershed-based, non-profit organization established in 1979. Incorporated under the Conservation Authorities Act, we are one of 36 conservation authorities in the province, and a member of Conservation Ontario.
Our nine-member Board of Directors oversees the policies, programs and budget of Kawartha Conservation. Member municipalities appoint the members of the board.
