This 404-hectare day-use area on Wolfe Island has a coastal ecology that is rare in Ontario. The area has been identified as an environmentally sensitive Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. Provincially and regionally significant birds, provincially rare trees and other rare plant species flourish here. The beach/dune complex is reached via a 1.3 km walking trail through wetlands and woodlands. Visitors can commune with nature, watch birds and enjoy the beautiful secluded sand beach.

Senior's Day - Wednesday, September 15, 2010
Annual General Meeting - November 17th, 2010
We are pleased to announce that the "Renegade Scientist" and author, Diana Beresford-Kroeger will be our speaker. Ms. Beresford is a native of Ireland who has bachelor’s degrees in medical biochemistry and botany, and has worked as a Ph.D.-level researcher at the University of Ottawa school of medicine, where she published several papers on the chemistry of artificial blood. She calls herself a renegade scientist, however, because she tries to bring together aboriginal healing, Western medicine and botany to advocate an unusual role for trees. Please come out and bring a friend to what promises to be a thought-provoking evening.
