Thanks to the generosity of John and Kate van Nostrand of Toronto, in December 2016 the Northumberland Land Trust received this eco-gift which is owned in fee-simple by the NLT.

Located a short distance south and east of Grafton, this 14 ha (35 acre) Nature Reserve includes a sizable portion of a Provincially Significant Wetland as well as a drier wooded area. The wetland is largely cattail marsh bordered by alder swamp and wet woodland. Along its south edge is about 400 m of pristine Lake Ontario shoreline, an increasingly rare habitat.
