The Rural Lambton Stewardship Network is one of 45 stewardship councils in southern Ontario, representing the community demographics of the Lambton County area. It prides itself on taking a grassroots approach to stewardship (using bottom-up decision-making instead of a top-down approach) allowing the leaders in the community, who are dedicated to protecting and enhancing the natural resources of Lambton County, to guide initiative development.

Our goal is to achieve and maintain a healthy and sustainable rural environment that will contribute towards both the viability of agricultural and natural resources in Lambton County as well as the social and economic well-being of its residents.

Focusing efforts on habitat restoration, conservation, and enhancement, the Rural Lambton Stewardship Network can offer an extensive, local network of project partners, funding opportunities, human resources and natural resource management expertise to assist with private land stewardship projects.

If you are interested in advice or information on different habitat and water initiatives happening in Lambton County, please browse our website and feel free to contact us.

The Healthy Waterways Initiative is a collaboration between Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ducks Unlimited Canada, St. Clair Region Conservation Authority and RLSN. It is a new initiative which helps landowners to preserve, restore or enhance wetlands.
