Forest Restoration at Landons Bay - Thousand Islands National Park
Official title: Landons Bay Forest Restoration Project
Parks Canada plans to restore 6 hectares of former campground and farmland at Landons Bay in Thousand Islands National Park. Over six years, they'll plant about 5,000 native trees and shrubs. Deer fencing may be installed to protect young plants.
Why This Matters
Visit Thousand Islands National Park? This project will transform old campgrounds and farm fields back into native forest. It's part of restoring the park's natural ecosystem for future visitors.
What Could Change
Six hectares at Landons Bay will shift from open land to forest habitat over the next six years. Deer exclusion fencing may appear at planting sites. Former campground areas won't return to camping use.
Key Issues
- Should former campgrounds and farm fields be converted to native forest?
- Is deer exclusion fencing appropriate for protecting new plantings?
