The Muskoka Conservancy had the lovely privilege this past Saturday to attend the Limberlost Challenge🏃‍♂️🪷

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to hang out with us and learn about what we do at the Muskoka Conservancy🌿

A special thank you to Sue who is one of our board directors and our staff members Jade and Vanessa who came out to represent us🙌

Hot take: Our volunteers are cooler than the ice cream we ate to recover. 🥵🍦

We spent today tackling invasive species and giving the trails at Dyer Memorial some much-needed love. Swipe through to see the hard work in action and the sweet reward that made the sweat worth it!

Thank you to everyone who showed up for our stewardship day and braved the heat for our trails! 🌳

Last week, we came together for our annual Ripple Fundraiser Taylor Ross💙 It was an inspiring evening celebrating conservation, community, and the incredible support that makes our work possible.

OLTA so important to the future of the land trust movement in Canada. Great to be part of this strategic planning initiative.

Recently, staff and volunteers from several land trusts got together for a strategic planning and feedback session, facilitated by The Community Company.

It was a beautiful day near the water in Kawartha Lakes, and a great chance to connect and grow our shared vision for land conservation in Ontario!
