What are Conservation Lands?

Conservation Lands are protected valley and stream corridors, flood plains, Lake Ontario shore lands and environmentally significant areas owned by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). TRCA has a tradition of providing outdoor recreation and education facilities on lands that are acquired for flood and erosion control or natural resource protection reasons.

Aside from TRCA managed parks, conservation areas and public use facilities, many of the parks and green spaces located in the City of Toronto, and the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham, are in fact TRCA Conservation Lands, but managed by your local governments.
