A Home for Conservation Education For More Than 3 Decades!

The Mac Johnson Wildlife Area, just north of Brockville, is not only a wonderful place to get some outdoor exercise and enjoy the sights and sounds of local flora and fauna, but an important setting for Cataraqui Conservation education programs that teach area kids about nature, wildlife, and the importance of environmental conservation.

The Nature Centre contains picnic tables, a woodstove and washrooms and is this perfect for school field trip visits. For more information, visit https://cataraquiconservation.ca/pages/education

We also partner with our Friends at the Frontenac Arch Biosphere to host PA Day, March Break and Summer Camp Programs. To register for their programs please visit https://frontenacarchbiosphere.ca/nature-programs/

Dogs are always welcome at any of Cataraqui Conservation’s properties, including the Cataraqui Trail.

But we ask that your four-legged canine family member be on a leash and remain on the marked trails during their visit.

This is for the safety and consideration for other visitors and the wildlife that lives in the area near trails on the properties. Free-running dogs can be intimidating to other visitors and can also chase and disturb wildlife.

And please pick up after your pooch. There are a number of refuse containers located throughout the property.
