Conservation Halton is the community based environmental agency that protects, restores and manages the natural resources in its watershed. Our staff includes ecologists, land use planners, engineers, foresters and educators along with a network of volunteers who are guided by a Board of Directors comprised of municipally elected councillors and appointed citizens.

We are recognized for our stewardship of creeks, forests and Niagara Escarpment lands through science based services and sustainable recreation programs.



Conservation Halton owns and operates six conservation areas, including Crawford Lake, Mountsberg, Rattlesnake Point, Hilton Falls, Kelso and Mount Nemo. We also operate the Glen Eden Ski and Snowboard Centre.
