How your donations are used
NVCA’s environmental restoration work protects and restores our environment, and helps ensure our rivers and streams remain healthy for generations to come.
We work with landowners in the Nottawasaga Watershed to improve water quality by implementing restoration projects on private property. These projects are cost-shared with the landowner and funding partners for the benefit of all watershed residents.
Every year, NVCA’s Forestry program plants approximately 100,000 trees throughout the watershed. In 2022 alone, we restored close to 9 km of streams!
NVCA’s Tiffin Nature Program helps children gain knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the natural world and our amazing planet. Children 2.5 – 6 of age learn about risky play, and develop a better understanding of their relationship with the land.
Hosted at our 300+ acre Tiffin Centre for Conservation, our programs encourages outdoor exploration, guided excursions in the forest fueled by student interest. Every day will be guided by student inquiry, seasonal changes.
Help send a child to the Tiffin Nature Program by donating on Giving Tuesday!
Funds raised Giving Tuesday help staff and volunteers with ongoing maintenance and restoration of our conservation areas.
The maintenance list for trails and other recreational areas is long and constantly being addressed. Many of NVCA’s trails are accessible and require a high degree of attention.
In the past two years, NVCA created new parking lots in Petun Conservation Area and Nottawasaga Bluffs Conservation Area for your convenience. Accessible boardwalks, bridges, washrooms and interpretive signage are all part of a positive visitor experience.
NVCA’s Watershed Monitoring program collects important information that tells us about the health of our streams, rivers, wetlands, forests and groundwater. This information is shared with the public through subwatershed health checks.
Residents are able review the health checks to learn more about their local environment.
The data collected can also provide insights broad impacts like climate change and land use changes or smaller impacts like backyard ponds and fencing cattle out of a stream.
Thank you for your donations and support!
If you would like to contribute in other ways, NVCA offers many volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
