This sign is dedicated to the nature lovers who have helped to secure the future for wild species and wild spaces at the Cawthra Mulock Nature Reserve.
The stream pictured above will wend its way north-west through the reserve and eventually reach the Holland Marsh.
The dam that once contained the pond at the reserve was replaced with a wooden bridge (above) to allow the pond-water to flow more freely to the west, but the photos above and below show how beaver are working to build a dam of their own to control water levels. It is one of two dams they have created. The first one had to be partially breached to maintain a constant flow of water at an ideal depth.
Ontario Nature has created
a sign (above) to thank the generosity of almost 90 individuals who have made gifts to Ontario's wild species and wild spaces, including the Cawthra Mulock Nature Reserve.
Please comment

Another nature trail that I was not aware of right in my own backyard. I will have to make sure to check it out once it opens again. Thanks Barry!
