Our conservation areas are the places where we protect ecologically significant land and educate and inspire future generations
by encouraging broader resource conservation through experience and appreciation. Being out in nature not only benefits physical health, but increases creativity, provides stress relief, and helps improve memory and mood.

Within our eight conservation areas, we offer over 45 km of trails (note that trails are not maintained in winter).
Hidden within these natural gems are streams, wetlands, forests, beaches, views and vistas within locally significant natural heritage sites, just waiting to be explored.
