Rock Ridge Nature Reserve
Acquired May 15, 2020, our newest property is 3.4 hectares of steep slope on a small lake within the Frontenac Biosphere Reserve. The 400-meter shoreline is rocky with a sharp drop off from the granite cliffs to deep clean water. The property will be forming part of a bridge between two large protected areas: Queen’s University Biological Station and Frontenac Provincial Park. We share the donors’ intention to conserve the natural features of the property and to protect it from future development. We are pleased to be guardians of this gem in the Canadian Shield.
