About this user

Founded in 2001, the rare Charitable Research Reserve exists to preserve, intact in perpetuity, a 913-acre (and growing!) land reserve along the Grand and Speed Rivers. It is not only a beautiful cultural landscape in one of the fastest growing areas of the country but includes trees more than 230 years old and provides over 24 habitat types including 6 of 8 pre-settlement landscapes - that are home to a diversity of organisms some of which are species at risk regionally, provincially, nationally and globally. Located within the designated Blair-Bechtel-Cruickston Environmentally Sensitive Landscape, rare s lands provide a natural laboratory for scientific study, research-based education programs, archaeology and trails. Together we are stewards of this magnificent natural jewel, striving to protect it because of its role in our lives, economies, and even our survival. Our goal is to preserve the land for future generations by focusing on research, education, conservation, and ecological restoration.

The land here presents a unique opportunity to understand our environment its role in our lives, our economies, and even our survival. In the midst of the one of the fastest growing areas of the country, the site provides a rare account of natural and human histories, with archaeological finds going back more than 9,000 years; it teems with species, provides insight into early agricultural practices and is a source of unaltered genetic information.
