Environment and Sustainability

Sustainable Peterborough

The Township of North Kawartha is committed to sustainability and protecting the environment. We are a member of Sustainable Peterborough.

Lake Stewardship

Lake stewardship is the practice of managing our lakes through preventative and restorative actions and protecting the lake ecosystem and water quality for current and future generations.

Lake Stewardship groups are important because they raise awareness of lake issues in the community, be the ‘voice’ for your lake and act as a support group for members.
