Lakefield Trail Stewardship

Stewardship is "The conducting, supervising, or managing of something; especially: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care."

The Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee was formed in 2001. A Stewardship Plan was put in place at that time to ensure ongoing risk management through a volunteer Stewardship Program and Quarterly Trail Inspections by the Sub-Committee, reporting to the Director of Recreation.

The Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to the perseveration of the Lakefield Trail. The Stewardship Committee liaises with the Township of Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield, Recreation Department at the sub-committee level.

The goals of the Stewardship Committee are:

• To organize fundraising activities for Trail maintenance and enhancements,
• To promote natural environment education and recreational activities, and
• To promote all local and area trails.

The Stewardship Committee meets on the first Thursday of every month (except July and August), at 7 pm in the Centennial Room, Memorial Hall, Lakefield. Our meetings are open to the community. If you are interested in joining the Stewardship Committee or sitting in on one of our meetings, we would love to meet you.
