Ecological Gifts Program donor profile : conservation easement agreement donation on the Oak Ridges Moraine.: En14-563/4-2024E-PDF

"Barb Heidenreich spent her life exploring and protecting southern Ontario’s natural heritage. Barb’s connection to the land began in 1899 when her great-grandfather, Byron Edmund Walker, purchased a large tract of land on the shore of Lake Simcoe and placed it into a family trust. Eight generations have explored and protected the shoreline, savannah, forest and wildlife found on this land; the conservation ethic that has guided Barb’s choices throughout her life began here. Her enduring dedication to nature culminated in the permanent protection of 121 hectares of land through the federal government’s Ecological Gifts Program ... The establishment of a conservation easement agreement with the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust on Innisfree Farm ensures permanent protection of an old growth forest, a stand of canker-resistant butternut, and a glacial lute important for groundwater recharge"--Page [1].
