Climate change solutions for a resilient tomorrow.

Climate change is dramatically affecting our communities. Winters are wetter and warmer, summers are hotter, extreme weather events are more frequent, biodiversity is rapidly declining—but solutions are all around us. Learn about climate change in the context of Conservation Halton’s watersheds and how you can play a role in addressing the most pressing global crisis of our time.

Our Projects

Carlisle Conservation Area

Construction for Phases 1 and 2 of the Carlisle Conservation Area Restoration Project is now complete. The area now features an enhanced riparian wetland, a new stream bank and new habitat features for aquatic species at risk.

Flamborough Centre Park

This ongoing restoration project is transforming an under-used municipal park into a beautiful natural area with wetland features and more than 60 native species of trees, shrubs and flowers. The Flamborough Centre Park project is an example of the critical role of wetlands in providing natural flood control and building community resilience to climate change.

Drumquin Park

This project focused on restoring the section of Sixteen Mile Creek that meandered through the park to a more natural width, depth and path, planting native species and creating habitat for wildlife. Projects like Drumquin Park support the natural function and climate resilience of the watershed.

Featured Term: Invasive Species

Non-native plants or animals that grow and spread quickly, outcompeting and damaging native species and overall biodiversity in an area.
