Maitland Conservation Foundation

The Maitland Conservation Foundation (MCF) works in partnership with Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to raise funds for a variety of watershed projects. The Foundation is a registered, charitable organization that is led by a volunteer Board of Directors. The MCF has been raising funds significant local projects since its incorporation in 1975.

Through the Foundation, individuals and businesses can contribute to projects that protect and enhance watershed forests, rivers and soil. The Foundation welcomes general donations or donors are welcome to direct funds to specific projects including:

  • Middle Maitland Headwaters Restoration Project – to restore the headwaters of the Middle Maitland River upstream of Listowel by naturalizing floodplain, river valley lands and stream buffers. Restoring these areas will help to improve the health of the river.
  • Watershed Resiliency Project – to restore the floodplain, river valley, stream buffers streams and forests throughout the watershed in order to build resiliency to the impacts of climate change and to improve the ecological health of the watershed.
  • Conservation Areas Infrastructure Projects – to develop and improve infrastructure and trails at Conservation Areas. To support projects to improve the health of forests, wetlands and meadows for wildlife and pollinators.
  • Memorial and Celebration Grove – the Memorial-Celebration Grove is located at the George Taylor Conservation Area located south of Walton. For a donation of $100 a large-stock deciduous tree will be planted in memory of a loved one or in celebration of a milestone event. Smaller donations are also gratefully accepted. Individual trees in the groves are not identified with names; however donor and memorial names are listed on a kiosk at the site. To make a donation for a memorial or celebration tree please call the Foundation at 519-335-3557 ext. 246, email foundation@mvca.on.ca or visit our page at CanadaHelps.
