New Accessible Trail at Wildwood Conservation Area! (UTRCA weekly, August 12, 2022)

Two years ago, forward-thinking Wildwood Conservation Area (CA) staff proposed creating an accessible trail within the park. This idea is now a reality, as the Green Trail has been overhauled with a surface that will allow barrier-free use. The Green Trail is a 1.1 kilometre loop through the Dr. Murray Forest east of Campground B, with parking just north of the trail head. The trail’s gentle slopes and serpentine shape remain, along with the views of nature. Visitors are asked to be patient as the trail surface will take some time to settle.

While staff were constructing the trail, a person with limited mobility who was visiting Wildwood CA stopped to talk with staff about barrier free trails, fishing platforms, and other amenities. They are quite excited by the work going on at Wildwood and similar efforts at our other conservation areas.
