The Living Legacy Trust was established by the province of Ontario in 1999 as a $30 million investment in natural resource management projects in northern Ontario. The assets of the Trust were managed by an independent Board of Directors which represented various stakeholder groups. Projects were funded on their promise of economic, social and recreational benefits to the people of Ontario and to serve as models of excellence in forestry, fish and wildlife practices.

The Board of Directors and Staff of the Living Legacy Trust extend sincere thanks to all who participated in this effort to improve the sustainable resource management, including applicants, grantees, reviewers and advisors.
