Environment and Sustainability

The lakes, rivers, wetlands and forests of Algonquin Highlands are much more than just a beautiful setting; they are the social, economic and cultural lifeblood of the community. Protecting these natural assets, along with mitigating the effects of climate change, is a priority for the Township, and considerations of environmental stewardship are at the forefront of municipal decision-making and policy.

From protecting lake health to prolonging the lifespan of waste disposal sites, a series of programs offered by the Township, the County of Haliburton and community groups help to achieve goals of sustainability.
