A Season of Reflection, Growth, and Celebration

November at Kawartha Conservation: A Season of Reflection, Growth, and Celebration

As November settles in, the crisp air and quiet forests remind us that nature is slowing down, even as our work to protect and restore it continues to grow. This is a season for reflection and gratitude, a time to celebrate the connections between people, place, and the natural world that sustains us.

In this edition of Watershed Watch, we’re wrapping up our five-part watershed series, exploring how healthy lands, lakes, and partnerships strengthen our communities and shape the future of conservation across the region. You’ll also read about our Tree Planting Program, which is already looking ahead to spring, helping landowners plan new forests, restore shorelines, and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

And, as the holidays approach, we’re turning our attention to one of our favourite traditions, Christmas at Ken Reid, returning December 6 with festive lights, wagon rides, and plenty of community spirit.

Whether you’re reflecting on the year that’s passed or looking forward to what’s ahead, we hope this issue inspires you to stay connected to nature, give back to the environment, and celebrate the season with gratitude and joy.
