About the Niagara Land Trust

 

The Niagara Land Trust is a group of concerned and knowledgeable volunteers with experts from a variety of professional backgrounds. Our focus is to acquire and manage land for public interest and benefit, while providing leadership in sustainable land stewardship on the properties we own and manage in the Niagara Peninsula.

 

The Niagara Land Trust is part of the Ontario Land Trust Alliance who supports and coordinates 34 other Land Trusts across the province. The Niagara Land Trust has adopted the Canadian Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices.
