The unique landform features in Conservation Halton's watershed and its geographic location on the northern edge of the rich Carolinian Zone means that the watershed has a rich variety of species and habitats. For many species, the Carolinian Zone or the Niagara Escapement is the only place that they can be found in Canada.
We are actively involved with the monitoring and protection of rare species within our watershed but we need your help too. Without individuals taking an active interest in conserving sensitive species, they will become extinct.
