More about The Kensington Conservancy

The Kensington Conservancy is a land trust that works to protect lands and waters by purchasing property, accepting donations of land, and through voluntary conservation agreements. These protection methods are all aimed at protecting our precious landscape in perpetuity.

Our Vision:

The Kensington Conservancy will work to inspire all members of the North Channel community to embrace positive conservation values that will promote the protection and preservation of natural ecosystems for all generations.

Canadian Land Trust Alliance
Standards and Practices:

The need for standards and practices, for all land trusts, regardless of where they operate is imperative. Developing strong land trust communities depends on the long-term viability and management of all land trusts. By working towards a consistent set of standards and practices, land trusts will continue to thrive and be successful in perpetuity.
The Kensington Conservancy has adopted the Canadian Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices as their guiding principles for the organization’s operations and commits to making continual progress towards implementation of all of these standards and practices. For further information on these standards please visit the Canadian Land Trust Alliance site at: www.olta.ca

The Kensington Conservancy Board of Directors boasts of a broad cross section of the local community. It has citizens from Canada and from the United States, permanent and summer residents, those with long family histories, and those with new experiences in this vibrant community. Everyone comes to the table with a genuine love of land and water and a wish for future generations to enjoy the same treasurers.

The Kensington Conservancy also believes that conservation and preservation can also be achieved through the good stewardship practices of all property owners. We work with local landowners, farmers, governments, schools and other organizations to develop programs that will promote greener and less intensive development, best land and water management practices, invasive species control, and low impact recreational activities.

Our membership includes residents of Canada and the United States who represent various interests including permanent and seasonal residents, government, business, and the scientific and academic communities.

As one of North America’s few binational land trusts, The Kensington Conservancy is a registered charity in both Canada and the United States.
