York Region:



Known as the "Rising Star" of Ontario, York Region is home to more than 800,000 residents within an area of 680 square miles. Although one of the fastest growing municipalities in Canada, the Region contains an abundance of natural features including forests, river valleys, kettle lakes, wetlands and wildlife. It is bound by Toronto to the south, by Lake Simcoe to the north, Peel Region to the west and Durham Region to the east. Nine municipalities comprise the mix of urban and rural landscape of the area.



Say "YES" to Stewardship:

York Environmental Stewardship (YES) is made up of environmentally minded individuals who volunteer their time, interest, efforts, and skills to advance the responsible care of land and natural resources within the Region. Council members are dedicated to the wise use of forest, soil and water resources and represent private landowners, conservation/resource agencies and associations, environmentalists and naturalists. Local programs and needs are developed by council members with input from other organizations, agencies and local citizens. YES priorities include information and educational opportunities for landowners and environmental projects with partner organizations.
