Ontario's Greenbelt
Ontario's Greenbelt is a protected area of natural and agricultural lands around Toronto and neighboring regions. Its purpose is to conserve farmland, forests, waterways, and natural habitats, while preventing urban sprawl. By safeguarding these areas, the Greenbelt promotes environmental health, supports local agriculture, and enhances quality of life. It also ensures sustainable development by balancing growth with ecological preservation. Managed through regulations and planning, the Greenbelt is a vital resource that maintains Ontario’s green spaces and natural heritage amidst expanding urban areas.
