Help Us Preserve “The Summit” in Lakefield Estate!
Conservation Lakefield has launched a campaign to protect the last undeveloped area in Lakefield Estate—48 acres (19.4 hectares) of pristine forest known as “The Summit.” Currently zoned for development, plans for The Summit include a new road and 16 new lots.
But there’s hope. Conservation Lakefield has reached an agreement with the developer, G.S.L.L., to purchase this land and preserve it forever. If we meet our fundraising goal, we can halt the development before it begins.
“The Summit” is a stunning landscape of steep, tree-covered slopes surrounded by forest, marshes, and wetlands. This area is traversed by hiking trails with magnificient views of Lake Sir John and the Mirabel plain to the south, and offers a natural haven for birds and wildlife.
Conservation Lakefield has already preserved 375 acres (152 hectares) in Lakefield Estate. Acquiring “The Summit” will be the final step in stopping any further large-scale development here.

We need your help. Our fundraising goal is $640,000. While we are seeking much of this funding from federal and provincial agencies, private donations are essential to unlock this government support. Lake Sir John homeowners are also committed to protecting this land, recognizing its impact on their quality of life and on the environment.
Join your neighbors and make a donation or pledge to Conservation Lakefield. Every contribution counts, and tax receipts will be issued.
Together, we can save this precious land for future generations.
