“Much of it is an area of national scientific interest as well as provincially significant wetlands,” explained Brandon Williamson, Land Management Coordinator with the UTRCA. “So, this arrangement protects that sensitive ecological habitat, and now it's in our land holdings, so we can protect it, enhance it and remove some invasive species and also restore it.”
The UTRCA used a $262,000 federal grant to pay for the purchase, improved signage, and additional maintenance.
