The group of dedicated naturalists that founded the Bruce Trail recognized that a public footpath would be the perfect vehicle for people to experience first hand the wonders of the Escarpment, thus focusing public attention on the need to protect this special ecosystem. Ever since these beginnings The Bruce Trail Association has been dedicated to promoting public awareness of the need to protect and conserve the Niagara Escarpment. The significance of the Bruce Trail Association extends far beyond being Canada's best-known and most heavily used public footpath. The trail and its surrounding environment also serve as a vitally important link between over 100 public parks and natural areas within the Escarpment region. The Trail is part of a greenway providing undisturbed habitat and a migratory corridor for a wide range of plants and animals.
