Preserving Halton's Natural Heritage

Preserving Halton’s natural heritage A farsighted proposal by Halton regional council would place protections on more than one-third of the region's remaining land (shown here in dark green) not already protected or actively slated for development. The natural heritage system approach creates environmental corridors to be preserved, particularly along waterways, instead of protecting only isolated pockets. . 32 SIDE RD
