Quinte Conservation would like to thank conservation area pass holders for their support as parking fees generated over the last several years have helped to make upgrades at a variety of conservation areas throughout the Quinte Watershed.
The upgrades include two new screened trails for ease of access at Vanderwater and Sheffield, new footbridges were installed at Sidney and Macaulay Mountain, a new safety fence and picnic tables, along with trail grading to the cobble stone beach were added to Little Bluff, and new picnic tables were replaced at Depot Lakes. A variety of Conservation Areas also received new entrance and educational signage, native species plantings, invasive species control, general maintenance, and GPS updates to trail mapping.
Last year, a screened trail was added at the H.R. Frink Centre to allow ease of access to the wetland ecology boardwalk for users – particularly those with mobility aids, such as wheelchairs and walkers, as well as for those with strollers.
