Conservation Areas Visitor Survey

The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) is gathering information from visitors to our Conservation Areas to better understand how our lands are being utilized, and to determine if there are realistic goals we can achieve to create a better user experience. Please consider filling out the questionnaire below in order to share your valuable feedback.

The LRCA is developing a Conservation Area Strategy to establish a current set of objectives that will inform decision-making related to the Conservation Areas or lands owned and operated by the Authority. The intent is to identify the gaps, necessary actions, and funding required to support the services provided by these lands in the future. The data collected from this survey will be incorporated, as warranted, into the Conservation Area Strategy as a component of the public consultation process.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this voluntary survey. It should take approximately 2-5 minutes to complete. Please note that individual responses are confidential. Data obtained from the survey will be reported to the LRCA Board of Directors and Management.
