Property Info

The Thomson property is a combination of both islands and mainland in the Nares Inlet community. The first portion of the property, a small island, was secured in 1991 and the remainder of the reserve was protected 10 years later in 2001. The property consists of open, shrubbed and treed bedrock with scattered clusters of vegetation, a diverse shoreline that includes pockets of Georgian Bay coastal meadow marsh communities, a small Eastern White Cedar forest and a Virginia Chain Fern bog. The property supports more than 90 plant species and is remarkably undisturbed. It is surrounded on the mainland by a Conservation Reserve contributing to an extensive natural corridor. This property was generously donated by its owners in who were interested in ensuring the long-term preservation of this property.
