NEW TRAIL NEARS COMPLETION - Kawartha Conservation

Volunteers and staff made excellent headway on a new, sustainable trail in the southern end of Durham East Cross Forest Conservation Area on June 24. We are planning to complete the 4 km trail later this year, which will be opened to low-impact uses such as hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. 

We'd like to thank all of the participants for their help, including the Durham Mountain Biking Association.
