Conservation Areas Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: Conservation Areas are lands which are considered to be regionally significant, such as valleys, or environmentally sensitive areas, and are best managed by a public agency to retain their natural characteristics. These areas are designated within a Conservation Authority's jurisdiction and are managed by the Authority. Supplementary tables can be used and are available for download from the additional documentation section. This layer is part of what was known as the OMNR Fundamental Dataset.
