The Kawartha Heritage Conservancy is a
locally-based
charity dedicated to conserving the natural and cultural
heritage of the Kawarthas through private stewardship.
This is achieved by working in partnership with landowners
on long-term conservation agreements and tax benefits,
and by managing property received through donation or
purchase. The Conservancy develops criteria for heritage
significance locally, and fundraises to secure and manage
land identified by the community.
Our website is currently being overhauled.
Be sure to come back in the fall to see our exciting new look!
