Cedarhurst Alvar Nature Reserve
2 hrs (Slow pace, fairly level landscape)

The Cedarhurst Alvar property contains some of the most significant natural habitat in the province. Alvars, naturally open habitats with either a thin covering of soil, or no soil, over a base of limestone or dolostone bedrock, are extremely rare. They exist only in a handful of locations across the globe, including the eastern European Baltic region, the United Kingdom and Ireland. In North America, almost 75 per cent of alvars are in Ontario.

marley Nature Reserve

This Reserve helps fulfill the Conservancy’s long-term plan of assembling connected corridors of habitat. This allows species to move freely across the landscape. We are grateful to add the Marley property to lands already protected along the Black River corridor.
