Explore the unique landscape and rolling hills of the Oak Ridges Moraine at Ballyduff Trails. The network of trails is located on the McKim-Garsonnin property, protected through a conservation easement agreement with the Kawartha Land Trust. Ralph McKim and Jean Garsonnin steward this large property with extensive views at the headwaters of Fleetwood Creek. They have protected this forested landscape and restored prairie plant species. This property complements the adjacent conservation holdings at the Fleetwood Creek Natural Area. Kawartha Land Trust hosts annual events on the property to aid in the restoration of the Tall Grass Prairie—a rare and disappearing habitat that once covered a large part of the landscape. Plant grass plugs, admire rare flowers and grasses, and pick seeds to help in the future replanting of native prairie grasses and flowers.
