Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area is a diverse natural area that supports a wide variety of ecological communities. A field inventory and evaluation of vegetation communities was carried out in 1994. The property encompasses part of a much larger natural area identified as the Cold Creek Complex. This complex encompasses 1,211 hectares includes a portion of an esker, portions of a provincially significant wetland and prairie remnants. While most of the Cold Creek Complex is privately owned, approximately 180 hectares is within the Conservation Area. This tract of land, under Conservation Authority ownership, is therefore quite valuable in terms of protecting natural features and habitats within the Lower Trent Watershed region.
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.
