The Huron Stewardship Council has been active in the Huron County community since 1995, originally beginning as a Provincial program, and officially becoming incorporated as a not-for-profit in 2011. We encourage responsible ecosystem level management of our natural resources, through collaboration with the Huron County community. Our ultimate goal is to create a healthy natural landscape that is valued by the community, managed sustainably by landowners, and used in a way that balances multiple benefits for the community.

Swim Drink Fish works at the confluence of water, people, and technology. We focus on water because all communities need swimmable, drinkable, fishable water to thrive. We empower people because it takes a community to protect water. We create communications tech tools because the web has the power to engage enough people to protect all waters.
