Description
A Forest and Conservation History Tour through Hanover and West Grey, Ontario.
At one time Hanover was known as the Furniture Capital of Canada. We will see examples
of this from a forest history aspect. There will be tours to early plantations on Grey County
properties and private land near Wilder Lake. We will visit an early plantation designed to
protect Hanover's water supply and visit the Sulphur Springs Conservation Area. There will
be stops at other cultural areas of interest.
Registration is required. Cost is $40 for Forest History Ontario members and Bruce Grey
Woodlands Association members, $60 for non-members and $20 for students. Fees are
payable by e-transfer or cheque to Forest History Ontario. Lunch will be provided.
Please indicate any dietary needs.
Please register by October 10th. Fees are non-refundable after this date but can be
substituted. Participants must be able to walk up to 15 minutes a few times, on
imperfect forest trails. We will travel by school bus, however seats are limited.
Meet at Sulphur Springs Conservation Area at 261123 Grey Rd 28, Hanover.
