About this event

Have you ever wanted to contribute to community science to support the plant and animal species of the Kawarthas? Kawartha Land Trust is hosting three bioblitzes on properties that are protected by or connected to KLT. Using your smartphone, explore KLT's Christie Bentham Wetland and document the plant and wildlife species you see.

KLT’s Christie Bentham Wetland is a 137-acre nature reserve near Burleigh Falls that was protected in 2020 through community support and a legacy keystone gift from Christie Bentham. This KLT nature reserve is open to the public year round and is home to forests and wetlands that support an abundance of wildlife.

Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) is a dynamic land conservation charity with an impressive track record of growth. Our mission is to care for the lands entrusted to us and help others protect the land they love in the Kawarthas. We create nature reserves for future generations by acquiring ecologically important properties and/or interests in properties. We also enhance our stewardship of the land by engaging landowners in land care initiatives through our Partners in Conservation program. Founded in 2001, KLT thousands of acres of ecologically diverse lands, some of which include hiking trails that introduce thousands of people to nature in the Kawarthas every year. We have achieved our successes through the work of our dedicated and growing team of donors, volunteers and supporters. Together, we can ensure more natural spaces in the Kawarthas are preserved forever. KLT works within the Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig Territory and we are dedicated to continuing to create meaningful connections and relationships with First Nations communities in our region as we build upon these connections.
