Property Info

This property is a conservation easement held by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). GBLT provides support for stewardship of the property. The property is part of Bone Island, one of the Muskoka Heritage Areas identified from the Natural Heritage Evaluation of Muskoka. The interior of the property is dominated by White Pine - Red Maple mixed forest with frequent rock barren outcrops. Small depressions within the barrens support Sphagnum mats covered in a variety of wetland species including Virginia Chain Fern. The shoreline is the most sensitive portion of the property, supporting large populations of two provincially rare plants in addition to other Atlantic Coastal Plain species.
