STEWARDSHIP STRATEGY LAUNCHED

Leading by example, connecting with our community, integrating available knowledge and decision making, and empowering our community to act are the key takeaways from the recent board-approved 10-year Kawartha Conservation Stewardship Strategy.

“Each goal is supported by objectives and desired outcomes that will enable us to focus our efforts and develop a flexible framework guiding program planning and implementation,” explained Stewardship Coordinator Holly Shipclark. “Actions and Targets have been set to evaluate and measure the success of project implementation over the next 10 years.

Kawartha Conservation’s Stewardship Strategy has been developed to assist the Stewardship department in the implementation of the Strategic Plan and specific watershed scale documents, including watershed plans and lake management plans, to help identify stewardship action for the next 10 years.

The 10-year Stewardship Strategy has been an ambitious project, facilitated Kawartha Conservation’s Stewardship department with ongoing support and collaboration with an advisory committee, representatives from a number of implementation partners across the watershed and staff. The work was facilitated through grants from the Echo Foundation and Colleges and Institutes Canada.
