Canoeing and kayaking events have increased in popularity, and aerial interpretive tours were introduced to our program of outdoor events and workshops in 1999. Conservation areas in the Quinte area offer a peaceful and refreshing escape from our every day hustle and bustle. They provide safe homes for plants and animals. They offer an outdoor education wonderland for adults and children. They give everyone a chance to renew their acquaintance with Mother Nature.
Conservation areas are a breath of fresh air now and for the future.
But these lands are not without costs. Increasing economic constraints have seriously affected the future of our conservation areas. It will help maintain the scenic lookouts over cobble beaches and enchanting bays like Little Bluff. Opportunities for relaxing on a secluded campsite at Depot Lakes will remain, and historically significant sites such as O'Hara Mill Museum will be preserved. Official tax receipts will be issued, along with other tokens of appreciation.
