The Talking Forest
What's Happening
The Illuminated Forest lights up Ken Reid Conservation Area from December 12 to 28 with thousands of soft white lights along the trails at the front of the park. Free public transit from Lindsay is available on four special nights to make it easy for everyone to take part.
Conditions across the Kawartha Conservation watershed remain below typical seasonal levels following a drier than average fall. While some precipitation in recent weeks has supported gradual recovery in stream flows, overall precipitation remains at 71 percent of the three month historical average. As a result, Level 1 Low Water conditions remain in effect. Surface water fed streams are showing slower recovery, while groundwater fed streams remain within normal ranges.
Kawartha Conservation is paving the way for residents to enhance their physical and mental health, through a new collaboration with Canada’s national nature prescription program, PaRx.
Visitors issued a PaRx nature prescription from their health care provider can receive a 25% discount on an annual parking pass from Kawartha Conservation.
