The Purdon Conservation Area in the municipality of Lanark Highlands, Lanark County, in Eastern Ontario, Canada.[1] Located near the community of Lanark, it is operated by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority.[2]

The Purdon Conservation Area supports Canada's largest native colony of showy lady slipper orchids, some 16,000 plants. A smaller grouping of the orchids was discovered in the 1930s by Joe Purdon, after whom the conservation area is named, and who grew it to its larger size.[3]
