Serenity Nature Reserve
Our latest addition to the Foundation, Serenity Nature Reserve, was purchased in late 2023. During the month of February and most of April, a tireless group of volunteers from the Grand Bend Pickleball Club, volunteered to clear out tree-stumps, tumbled down thick bush, garbage and open up large swaths of land to build boardwalks over wet areas of the property to make the new trails accessible. We opened to the public in July 2024. The main trail is dust and chip that was built up by Creamer Construction, LLC, a local company. Our local Mike MacLean’s Home Hardware has been an exceptional partner in providing and delivering the outdoor wood for the boardwalks. The benches that are located throughout the property are from Mike MacLeans Home Hardware too.
The new wetlands that are currently being developed, are being done in partnership with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). This project will be completed in the near future.
