Initially four Cobourg schools made use of it working out of a large loaned C.O.D. tent erected by army personnel.

ECOLOGICAL GIFT NUMBER  

The Laurie Lawson Outdoor Education Centre (LLOEC) was desired by the Public-School Board now known as the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board in 1969 to be an outdoor education centre. A building was built at that time, in partnership with technical students of Cobourg District Collegiate East. 

Dr. Mary Bedford-Jones and her husband, the late Mr. Bill Goodwin took over the Nature Reserve following Dr. Lawson’s death in 1983. Dr. Bedford-Jones wanted to continue the preservation of this area so in 2005 she donated this 100-acre Nature Reserve to the Northumberland Land Trust.

The property is located at 8000 Telephone Road, Cobourg, and trails can be visited by the general public. Here's a trail map
