Property Info

The Harris Easement is located in the Wah Wah Taysee community, directly east of Bands Island and abutting several other Georgian Bay Land Trust properties. It covers an area of approximately 19 acres and includes a large beaver-controlled pond with fen shores, and three sheltered bays, including one that is dominated by an Atlantic Coastal Plain meadow marsh, a globally rare wetland type. The interior is characteristic of the eastern Georgian Bay archipelago, a complex of White Pine – Red Oak – Red Maple forest intermixed with acidic rock barrens. The property is diverse in both the community types and plant species represented, including three locally uncommon plant species and two provincially rare plant species.
