LPBLT was established in 1996 to protect and restore lands with significant ecological and cultural heritage qualities in the greater Long Point area, including Norfolk County, western Haldimand and eastern Elgin Counties, and parts of Brant and Oxford. The Trust focuses its efforts in one of the richest areas for biodiversity in Canada. Despite being a relatively densely populated and developed region, there remains enough habitat in this southern Great Lakes area to support populations of many significant species. The central Carolinian Region is internationally significant because of the species and habitats which occur (many rare or at risk); in addition, the Lake Erie drainage provides important water resource for communities in Canada and the United States. Long Point Basin Land Trust owns several nature reserve properties and leads a major multi-year effort to protect and recover reptile populations. LPBLT has recently launched a campaign to secure its fourth nature reserve.
