About
Owned by the Ontario Heritage Trust, Fleetwood Creek Natural Area was acquired in 1985 through a generous cash donation made by Hilda Pangman. A large part of the Fleetwood Creek property is designated as a Provincially Significant Earth and Life Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). Visitors are asked to stay on the trails so that the most environmentally sensitive sections of the property are protected.
