History of Serenity
In late 2023, the Foundation purchased the woodlot in the Grand Bend area to restore and preserve some of the few remaining Carolinian forests left in Southwestern Ontario. In the future there are plans for a day-use area with picnic tables and a composting toilet, and a walking trail around the wetlands to enjoy the birds and wildlife who depend on a wetlands for their survival.
“It is a real gem in South Huron and close to Grand Bend residents. Serenity Nature Reserve is a great opportunity to find Solitude. ”
