Just north of Kirkfield, discover Carden Alvar - a globally imperiled landscape composed of limestone bedrock with little soil, marked by spring floods and summer droughts.  Carden's alvars are critical to the survival and conservation of rare plants and animals that are specifically adapted to live in harsh conditions.  Over 7,500 acreas of land has been protected and provides a habitat for over 230 bird species, including the largest Ontario breeding population of Loggerhead Strike, an internationally endangered bird.  Check out the  website for details on where to access the protected properties and walking trails.
