Donate

When you choose to donate to OLTA or to your local land trust, you are helping communities conserve land for generations to come! To find out more about land trusts working in your community, and how you can help them protect the lands we all depend on, we encourage you to explore our Land Trust Directory.

Nature is truly a superhero.

By keeping land and nature intact, caring for it, and helping to restore and protect degraded lands, we help build a world that is healthier, safer, and more climate resilient.

OLTA works with land trusts, government, and many other partners to conserve land, waters, wetlands, forests, and farmlands, and help grow the Land Trust community in Ontario. We are able to do this work because of supporters and land trust heroes like you.

Together we:

Ensure that more people have access to nature
Reduce the risk and severity of floods
Mitigate the impacts of extreme weather on local communities
Preserve biodiversity and protect species at risk
Keep carbon in the soil and out of the atmosphere

These are the pieces that help build the thriving future we dream of, for generations to come. Thank you in advance for your support.

Barrie Island, conserved by the Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy, offers lush forests, cultural meadows, tallgrass prairies, and a scenic six-kilometer trail with breathtaking views.

Stackhouse Forest Sanctuary, conserved by Long Point Basin Land Trust, protects pristine forests and vital biodiversity.

Leave a Gift in Your Will

Gifts in a will, or bequests, are the most popular type of legacy gift. Bequests are easily set up with the help of your lawyer, and you can change your mind at any time and amend or revoke the gift.

Workplace Giving

Many companies offer programs to match donations made by their employees to eligible charities. If you would like to double your gift, contact the Human Resources department where you work to determine if your gift to OLTA is able to be matched or to have OLTA added to your company’s list of eligible recipients. If your company does not currently offer a matching gift program, please ask to have one established!
