Happy World Environment Day! 🌎🌱

Today, and every day, we can take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and think of ways we can help protect it. Supporting local land trusts is one way we can make sure that natural landscapes remain healthy for wildlife, like this beautiful Smooth Green Snake!

Spring has sprung! 🐸

During a recent frog survey, HLC Director Mark heard Spring Peepers calling out in full chorus at the Hogg Creek Wetland Nature Reserve!

Spring Peepers rely on healthy wetlands like this one for breeding each spring.

Today on Earth Day, the Huronia Land Conservancy is grateful for the natural beauty that surrounds us. To celebrate, we're inviting you to join our work by donating today. By protecting land across North Simcoe County and Southern Georgian Bay, we’re helping ensure that local habitats, wildlife, and biodiversity have a future as our region grows and environmental pressures increase. 🐢🌳🪺

If you’re able to give, your donation will be doubled through the Ontario Conservation Accelerator, making an even greater impact.

Big news from Huronia Land Conservancy! 🎉

We’ve secured and permanently protected the Thomson Woodland, a mature forest and bluff property just west of Awenda Provincial Park. This ecologically rich landscape—part of the stunning Nipissing Ridge—supports a diversity of species and strengthens habitat connectivity along southern Georgian Bay.

This milestone is a major step in expanding land protection across Huronia. We’re now raising funds to support long‑term stewardship and future conservation projects. Join us in protecting these vital natural areas: http://huronialandconservancy.ca/donate.html

Donate within the next month and all funds will be generously matched by the Ontario Conservation Accelerator. 🌿🐦
