Since its founding in 2001, Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) has grown into a vital guardian of the Kawarthas region—protecting 44 properties across more than 8,100 acres of wetlands, forests, farmland, and shoreline for current and future generations. With its mission “to care for the lands entrusted to us and help others protect the land they love,” KLT combines land acquisition, conservation without public access, and restoration, while also providing public trails and programs.
