KEY FEATURES: This property would be a significant step towards connecting the Matchedash and Black River Wildlands corridors, increasing the conservation value of the area. It is connected to the Severn River, which flows into the Trent Severn Canal and then into Lake Couchiching (Gwajienjawjiing, which means a place where a force merges or squeezes through.). It is also adjacent to the Thomas C. Nature Reserve (85-acres, protected 2011) and Fawcett Nature Reserve (93-acres, protected 1991).

Agnew and Fawcett have an existing bat monitoring program, with the highest diversity of bats found at any nature reserve to date including species at risk such as Little Brown, and Tri-Colored Bats. This would enable wildlife movement between the the two corridors and link the Conservancy's eastern and western conservation strategies.
