OAK RIDGES MORAINE LAND TRUST

Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust protects and restores natural landscapes across the Newmarket region and broader Greater Toronto Area. The organization acquires ecologically significant land through purchase and donation, then preserves it in perpetuity using conservation easements and direct stewardship. The trust manages forests, wetlands, and grasslands that provide critical habitat for wildlife, protect water sources, and maintain biodiversity in a rapidly developing area. Through guided walks, educational programs, and volunteer opportunities, the land trust engages community members in understanding and caring for the moraine's unique ecosystem. The organization works with landowners, municipalities, and conservation partners to ensure that irreplaceable natural areas remain protected for future generations.
