Lower Trent Conservation is seeking public input to shape the future of LTC conservation lands.
The organization has released its draft Conservation Lands and Areas Strategy and is inviting residents to participate in an online survey to share their insights and perspectives.
This strategy will guide LTC’s policies and priorities for managing their conservation lands.
It will outline the objectives for the use and protection of its lands, identify programs and services provided, and set categories for land use based on activities and conservation goals.
LTC owns approximately 3,666 acres of land within the Lower Trent watershed region with the majority of the lands held in trust for public use and conservation purposes, offering outdoor recreational opportunities such as hiking, cross-country skiing, biking, and picnicking.
“Public feedback is critical in guiding our Conservation Lands and Areas Strategy, to help us make decisions on where to allocate our efforts and resources in the future,” said Rhonda Bateman, Chief Administrative Officer at Lower Trent Conservation. “The perspectives of people who use and enjoy our properties is essential in improving our conservation areas, recognizing potential challenges and opportunities, and planning for upcoming projects. We want to ensure that the public has input.”
To participate in this survey, visit the Lower Trent Conservation website, www.LTC.on.ca, and fill out the survey between July 13 and September 6.
