| Goodrich Loomis Conservation Area | |
| The
Goodrich Loomis Conservation Area, located north of Brighton, contains
numerous small prairie remnants and an oak savanna that is presently
being restored. This 179 hectare conservation area is part of a
larger area of oak-pine woodland with open prairie habitat on the kames
and eskers (mounds of till deposited by glacial streams and
waterfalls). The property was donated in part by Frank Goodrich
and Roy Loomis to the Lower Trent Conservation Authority in 1970 to be
preserved as a wildlife sanctuary.
Tallgrass plants of interest include round-head bush-clover, prairie buttercup, Indian grass, black oak and ticktrefoil. The conservation area contains a total of 12 km of trails and a Conservation Centre. For more information or specific directions to the prairie pockets, call the Lower Trent Conservation Authority at (613) 394-4829. Directions: From Brighton, go 12.6km north on Hwy 30 to the junction with County Road 28. Turn west onto 7th Line of Brighton and go 5.4 km. |
