On my tour of the country roads, I came across this beautiful property, another stop along the Kawartha Arts & Heritage Trail. The cache is a quick park and grab located just outside the property gates. The nearby property owners are aware of the cache and have approved its placement. Through a conservation agreement, Ralph McKim and Jean Garsonnin steward this large property with extensive views at the headwaters of Fleetwood Creek on the Oak Ridges Moraine. They have protected this rolling forested landscape and restored prairie plant species. This property complements the adjacent conservation holdings at the Fleetwood Creek Natural Area.
Ballyduff Trails wind through the 260 acres of the McKim-Garsonnin property now protected through a conservation agreement with the Kawartha Land Trust.
