Conditions across the Kawartha Conservation watershed remain below typical seasonal levels following a drier than average fall.

As a result, Level 1 Low Water conditions remain in effect. Surface water fed streams are showing slower recovery, while groundwater fed streams remain within normal ranges.

Kawartha Conservation has officially launched its annual Seedling Sale, offering residents an affordable way to support local tree planting and long term watershed health. With a range of native species available and spring pickup planned, now is the time to place your order.
