When you choose to include OLTA in your gift this year, you are supporting an organization that has empowered land trusts to increase conserved lands by over 500% since 2002! That is an incredible power!

Nature is truly a superhero.

By keeping land and nature intact, caring for it, and by 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:

contribute to the goal of protecting 30 percent of lands by 2030
keep carbon in the soil and out of the atmosphere
preserve biodiversity and protect species at risk
mitigate the impacts of extreme weather on local communities
ensure that more people have access to nature, through programmes like Engaging New Canadians With Nature.

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

Leave a Gift in Your Will

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!
