The Long Point Basin Land Trust has announced the acquisition of a new 112-acre property in Norfolk County dubbed the Fishers Creek Nature Reserve.
The project completes a natural corridor along Fishers Creek to Lake Erie that provides more resting areas for migratory birds and adds more wild space for native plants and wildlife species to thrive.
It’s located between the Spooky Hollow Nature Sanctuary and the LPBLT’s own Strongman-Guiler Conservation Legacy and is adjacent to two Long Point Region Conservation Authority
forest plots near the lakeside community of Fishers Glen.
Fishers Creek is the fourteenth property secured by the LPBLT and the third largest nature reserve in the organization’s care.
The conservation and restoration of this property will provide critical habitat for a wide range of federally identified species at risk.
