Conservation Halton (CH), formerly known as the Halton Region Conservation Authority (HRCA), is a conservation authority established under the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario. It forms a partnership with the Province of Ontario, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the regional municipalities of Halton, Peel and surrounding municipalities.

To protect and enhance the natural environment from lake to escarpment for present and future generations.

Conservation Halton serves the communities in which it resides in various functions. It provides environmental protection to the large local forest resource and assists in maintaining and improving the health of the watershed's natural environment. This includes the watershed’s most significant natural feature, the Niagara Escarpment. Conservation Halton also manages water resources; ensuring the surrounding communities receive clean water and protecting them from flooding.

Conservation Halton employs 339 staff (2003) including full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Its administration office is located in Milton, Ontario. In 2004 CH was featured as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers in Maclean's magazine for their progressive human resources policies and perks, including free access to local parks for employees and their families.

Conservation Halton was formed on January 18, 1957 and first named the Sixteen-Mile Creek Conservation Authority. It was created by representatives from the municipalities of Oakville, Trafalgar, Milton, and Esquesing (now Halton Hills.) In 1964 it became known as the Halton Conservation Area, then the Halton Region Conservation Authority and finally Conservation Halton.

The authority operates six conservation parks year-round, most with full-time staff. These six parks are all located in the Halton region. Additionally, Conservation Halton maintains a number of smaller conservation lands with limited staff and facilities, as well as local properties that have no facilities or public access. Because parks are funded on a self-sustaining basis, entrance fees are charged at the staffed parks. All parks except Mountsberg offer connections to the Bruce Trail.
