Adopt an Acre
Since 1996, Adopt An Acre has stood as a beacon of community-driven conservation, embodying the spirit of environmental stewardship within the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee and Salmon Rivers, and Prince Edward County. Adopt An Acre is more than just a fundraiser; it is a testament to the power of community involvement in preserving and maintaining our conservation areas.
Participation in Adopt An Acre is a simple yet powerful process. Individuals, families and businesses can become stewards of Quinte Conservation's natural landscape by symbolically adopting an acre in exchange for a donation. When you Adopt An Acre, your symbolic gift ensures that these vital green spaces remain a cherished asset to the community.
Every Adopt An Acre donation comes with a certificate and tax receipt. Adopt 2 or more acres and take home an exclusive QC plush forest animal.
- 1 acre = $30 (includes certificate and tax receipt)
- 2 acres = $60 (includes certificate, QC plush forest animal, and tax receipt)
Did you know you can Adopt an Acre in honour/memory of a loved one? Just make sure to add the name(s) you want displayed on the certificate.

2024 Adopt An Acre is supporting
Beaver Meadow Conservation Area
This year's Adopt an Acre fundraiser will support the replacement of two wetland lookout platforms that are located at the end of each trail.
Located in Prince Edward County, this quiet property can be found at 158 County Road 11. Perfect for plant and bird enthusiasts, this area includes two short hiking trails around the wetland.
The property was once an experimental farm that grew celery, mushrooms, and sugar turnips. The farm also produced maple syrup, raised chickens, condensed milk, and sold wood.
Things to look out for when visiting Beaver Meadow include:
- Wildflowers like Wild Ginger, Baneberry, and Jack-in-the-pulpit
- Deciduous trees like White Birch, American Beech, Black Walnut, Butternut, Shagbark Hickory, and Maple
- Songbirds
- Wetland residents like Beavers, Blue Herons, and Osprey
