Rideau Waterway Land Trust

The Rideau Waterway Land Trust is a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to preserving ecologically significant lands within the Rideau Corridor, between Kingston and Ottawa. Our area of interest includes the Rideau River Watershed and part of the Cataraqui River Watershed. The majority of our 25 conserved lands are located within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-recognized biosphere region in Canada. The Rideau Canal is a designated National Historic Site, Canadian Heritage River, and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

RWLT works with property owners and community organizations to acquire and protect lands for the benefit of the community and future generations. RWLT relies on revenues from Rock Dunder, Covington Cottage, grants and donations to fulfill our mission.
