 History
  •  In 1972, Saugeen Conservation purchased this 14.5 ha (36 acre) natural gem. We wanted to ensure its protection and availability now and for future generations.
  • This property is a great example of a maple/beech climax forest. This type of forest covered much of Southern Ontario before settlement.
  • In 1918, the village of Teeswater purchased this woodlot. They purchased it to supply wood for the village's electric light plant.
  • During the Depression, villagers on "relief" could go to the bush to cut their own wood.
  • In the 1940's, school children planted trees on this property. They said it used to be one of the best berry picking woodlots around.
  • It is still referred to (by many locals) as the "Town Bush".
  • Hardwood Hill is a Managed Forest.
