Step into the heart of conservation with The Power of Protected Places: A Greenbelt Walk at Durham East Cross Forest, led by Stewardship Coordinator, Danielle Marcoux-Hunter. This guided walk through Durham East Cross Forest Conservation Area invites you to explore the importance of protected natural spaces and the vital role they play in our environment and communities.
Learn how Ontario’s Greenbelt, spanning more than two million acres, was established to safeguard environmentally sensitive and agriculturally significant land. As we hike through the forest, we’ll explore how areas like Durham East Cross and the nearby Pigeon River Headwaters protect clean water, promote climate resilience, preserve biodiversity, and support local food systems.
This immersive experience offers a deeper understanding of how protected places serve as natural sanctuaries and ecological buffers that benefit both people and nature. Whether you're a nature lover, environmental advocate, or simply curious, this hike is a chance to connect with the land and the legacy of the Greenbelt.
Meeting Point: North Entrance – 4560 Devitts Road Registration Required: Space is limited to 25 participants Presented with support from the Greenbelt Foundation
