| City of Brantford Greenway | |
| This
public greenway, also called the Gordon Glaves Memorial Parkway, was
established in 1990 on an abandoned Canadian Pacific rail line in the
City of Brantford along the Grand River. A 500 metre section of
trail from Hardy Road to Dufferin Avenue is flanked by tallgrass prairie
on both sides, totaling 5 ha. A prescribed burn was carried out
here in 1998.
There are many interesting plants to look for including dwarf chinquapin oak, green milkweed, porcupine grass, round-headed bush clover, and side oats gramma. Directions: Take Hwy 403 to Hwy 2 (Paris Road) and travel south to Toll Gate Road. Turn right and travel west to Ava Road, then turn left and go south for 500m to Glenhyrst Gardens. Park there and walk down to the river bank and rail-trail. |
