As we move into February, we’re excited to share some of the innovative work and research our team has been focusing on to support a healthy and thriving watershed. This month’s issue highlights how we’re leveraging drone technology to identify areas of sediment and erosion control issues on development sites, helping us to address challenges more efficiently and effectively.

Kawartha Conservation is excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Water Fund, offering funding, knowledge, and technical support to landowners and not-for-profit community organizations located within the Kawartha Conservation watershed. This includes parts of the City of Kawartha Lakes, Durham Region, and the Township of Scugog.

We’re excited to share that Kawartha Conservation has partnered with the BC Parks Foundation’s PaRx program to make accessing nature even easier. With a nature prescription, you can now enjoy a 25% discount on annual parking passes to explore our beautiful conservation areas, including Ken Reid, Windy Ridge, and more.

Kawartha Conservation is extending the Watershed Conditions Statement – Water Safety, that was issued on January 14, 2025 effective now through noon on Tuesday, January 21, 2025.

Above seasonal temperatures on Friday, January 17 through Saturday morning, could result in melting, before temperatures drop dramatically Saturday afternoon into next week.
