Land Securement
Object
3 of the ORMF’s Charter is “To preserve, protect and restore the environment,
including water resources and natural features of the Moraine by acquiring and
otherwise securing land (including conservation easements) on the Moraine or by
funding the acquisition or securement by Registered Charities of land (including
conservation easements) on the Moraine.”
The ORMF has helped many partners
obtain land according to our Land Securement Strategy. ORMF activities have
complemented and benefited various parties involved in land securement along the
Moraine.
Securement activities given priority
for ORMF funding included those that helped with:
- Securing a route for the Oak Ridges Trail System;
securing critical natural areas that enhance or strengthen existing holdings;
restoring natural linkages where it can be demonstrated that resulting
connections improve ecological integrity; and
- Protecting key water resources, such as wetlands,
kettle lakes or buffers for cold-water streams.
