Description: Another popular event back this year! In celebration of February’s Black History Month, Kawartha Land Trust (KLT) and Diverse Nature Collective (DNC) will host an informative guided hike through the snowy terrain. The guided hike will shine light on Black contributions to the environmental movement both past and present and give insight into what the future of conservation will look like with more diverse voices at the table. Depending on snow conditions you may want to bring snowshoes. We will have some extra sets available if you do not have your own and would like to try snowshoeing! Otherwise, please dress for the weather and being outside for a couple of hours.

Note: This is a snow or shine event!

Organized by

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 protects 31 properties that include more than 5,250 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.
