Abstract

The Private Land Resource Stewardship Program is seen as a positive and effective method of involving a community in identifying issues and projects in their own area. The program has gained momentum in Haliburton County with the emergence of the Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council. Through new relationships among landowners and the government, County Council, and the community, resource sector groups and partnerships are emerging.

This paper describes the concepts of land stewardship and landowner contact programs before outlining the structure, terms of reference, objectives, and programs of the Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council. Issues of public perception, future direction possibilities, and the relationship with the Ministry of Natural Resources are presented.
