The Leeds County Stewardship Council's main goal is to promote responsible land care and stewardship. We believe in educating and support people in making their own decisions. The Leeds County Stewardship Council:

• Places a high value on volunteer time and effort
• Seeks projects that meet a defined need in the community
• Seeks partnerships and cooperative ventures to meet our goals

Our success in many projects is based on an outgoing attitude and a strong community volunteer spirit. Our priorities include:

• Healthy Aquatic Ecosystems
• Sustainable Forests
• Species at Risk
• Education and Awareness
