To promote sustainability and long-term environmental stewardship, Otonabee Conservation has officially opened its annual Tree Sales. This year features a wide variety of species and sizes to better serve homeowners and community projects.

Otonabee Conservation’s Annual General (AGM) on January 20, 2026 highlighted nearly seven decades of stewardship within the watershed and celebrated this year’s recipients of the Environmental Excellence Awards.

The Otonabee Region Water Response Team has returned the Otonabee Conservation watershed to normal status.
The region’s improved status from a Level 1 Low Water Condition to Normal is the result of increased regional-scale precipitation and lower evaporation.
