The boundaries of the Bancroft Area Stewardship Council encompass the north half of Hastings County, a northern section of Peterborough County, and Nippising District. Located in the rugged and rolling highlands of Canadian Shield country, this region boarders on Algonquin Park to the north, Renfrew and Lennox & Addington Counties to the East, Haliburton County to the west, and Peterborough County to the south. The Town of Bancroft is the largest population center, with smaller villages outstretching north to Whitney, east to McArthurs Mills, south to Millbridge, and west to Apsley.
