Corduroy Brook Operation Christmas Give Back Continues We hit the trails over the weekend randomly handing out treats. Awesome walking conditions, weather and walkers made giving back even more special

What better way to kick off the Holiday Season then to watch the Polar Express . Some of our past Nature Campers were treated to a movie and popcorn last Sunday evening at the Classic Theatre.

Our Corduroy Brook Family is devastated today with the loss of our new Picnic Shelter at Gibson's Field. We feel for the employees who put their heart and soul into the construction of this structure. We feel for the many trail users who enjoy using the shelter for a variety of reasons. We feel for the children, especially those who participate in our Summer Nature Camp Program, and who won't get the chance to use this beautiful new shelter for fun games, crafts and other a...ctivities. Sadly, this is the second time that our shelter has been burned in just 14 months. We are discussing how to appropriately and effectively put a reward out for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Stay tuned for that news very soon. We want to thank all first responders, especially the GFW Fire Dept for their immediate and professional response. If anyone has any information relevant to this incident please contact the RCMP, Crimestoppers or the Nature Centre. As always, we will persevere and rise above this despicable and heartbreaking act. Happy Trails To You!

Fall is in the air These photos were taken today along the Moose Trail. This is the newest trail at Corduroy Brook. The starting point is off the main trail near Corduroy Pond. You can see the arch way that reads Corduroy Brook Nature Trail in between Corduroy Pond Loop and the Rabbit Trail. This is a moderate to difficult hike, that will take you an hour or more to walk. Roughly 5km leaving from the Nature Centre building and all the way back

Us at Corduroy Brook have been going back to check the area, as well as the surrounding area. So, it was more than likely the bear was just passing through. It just came to our attention there were signs of a bear on our trail. The bear activity was seen near Scout Pond Trail. It was known that bears do pass by fairly quickly in this area. We just ...wanted to bring it to trail users attention. If you see any more sightings or signs please contact us. The association will be diligent with following up with the bear activity Please share to spread the word
