The Catfish Creek Conservation Authority has
a colourful
new trail guide to help people navigate the many kilometres of trails
through its major conservation areas. The Guide was designed to
encourage more people to walk in the woods for health’s
sake, and
was sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotions
and
supported by the St. Thomas-Elgin Health Unit.
The twelve-page document features
photographs of many of the
woodland
creatures the hikers will meet, and contains maps of all
the major trails for the
Springwater and Archie Coulter Conservation
Areas and the Yarmouth Natural
Heritage Area, just east of the Village of Sparta.
