**Be aware as there is poison ivy throughout the trails**
(Unfortunately the original small container went missing and I had to replace it with one of my micros so the hiding spot is a bit higher up now.)
Previous owner, Frank E. Goodrich, actively logged parts of the Conservation Area from 1925 to 1957. As you go around the Pine Loop trail and the other trails, look closely because evidence of the logging era can still be seen in the Conservation Area. OId stumps are found throughout the property. Using the clear-cutting technique, trees were cut down, the limbs removed, the best logs were selected and the remainder left on the forest floor. The remnants are decaying and moss-covered. Some of the old logging roads have been reconstructed to form the hiking trails.
Lower Trent Conservation is a community-based environmental agency that protects, restores and manages the natural resources within its watershed.
They work with local communities to create a healthy, environmentally diverse watershed that improves the quality of life for residents, makes our area more appealing to visitors and new business, and helps to ensure a more vibrant regional economy.
