Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee
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 preservation 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 hear from you.

Stewards of the Trail
In addition to the Lakefield Trail Stewardship Committee, many Volunteer Stewards maintain designated sections of the Trail. Our Volunteer Stewards are responsible for litter control and reporting any damage to the Trail, its benches, or trees to the Stewardship Committee.
We currently have a few sections of the Trail that need a Volunteer Steward’s care.
If you would like to become a Volunteer Steward, please calll 705-292-9507 Ext. 243 or email us.
