Welcome to the Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council website! Bounded on the south by Victoria County and Peterborough County, on the north by Algonquin Park, on the west by the District of Muskoka, and on the East by Nipissing County and Hastings County, Haliburton County is the heart of Ontario's cottage country.

The rolling open country of southern Ontario rises more than 430 meters into the Haliburton Highlands. Resting on the Canadian Shield, the forest covered hills stretch as far as the eye can see, revealing hundreds of beautiful clear lakes in a dramatic Canadian landscape covering 452,000 hectares. The Highlands are 60 meters above sea level.

Although there are mines and forest-product industries, the county is primarily a center of recreation, cottage ownership and tourism, and has only a modest industrial base. There is little crown land with Minden and Haliburton being the largest population centres among many small communities. This creates unique challenges in ensuring proper resource stewardship throughout the county. The Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council works closely with landowners and local community partners, providing tools and resources to ensure that good land management practices flourish and Haliburton County’s natural beauty remains for future generations to enjoy.
