Stewardship and Conservation Funds ensure that Georgian Bay Land Trust properties will be protected forever. In accordance with the Canadian Land Trust Standards and Practices, we maintain sufficient restricted funds to cover the long-term costs of stewarding and defending our land and conservation agreements. Stewardship funds are independent of the Land Trust’s annual operating and program revenue, and are managed for long-term capital growth.
