Since 2004, NLT has helped protect over 400 acres of special natural lands in the Oak Ridges Moraine and other areas of Northumberland County Properties and conservation easements have been donated to us by individuals with a great love for nature. Our goal is to protect natural lands by: • accepting donations of significant lands to manage as nature reserves • entering into conservation easements with willing owners to legally protect natural areas from future development • working cooperatively with other organizations to acquire or manage ecological lands • engaging private landowners and volunteers in positive conservation actions • increasing local knowledge and awareness about natural heritage conservation

The Bill 7 Award Trust provides scholarships for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, 2-spirited and queer youth who are in financial need and are enrolled in their first program at any post-secondary institution in Ontario. It is named after the 1986 Ontario legislation that extended the protection of the Human Rights Code to lesbians and gay men. Bill 7 Award is directed and administered by a Board of Trustees made up of representatives from two community groups: Community One and Supporting Our Youth (a program of Sherbourne Health Centre). By building a capital trust fund, Bill 7 Award is able to leverage contributions that are made to provide scholarships for many years to come. In recent years, Bill 7 Award has been able to grant 4 awards of $2,000 each to very deserving LGBTT2SQ students. Donations may be designated to be invested in the capital fund, disbursed in the following year, or this decision can be left to the discretion of the trustees.
