History

This 141 ha (348 acre) property is located in the township of Chatsworth. It is within the Singhampton Moraine.
We began purchasing land here in 1955.
Since then, we have planted thousands of trees on this property.
There are many open areas, natural hardwood areas, deep depressions and steep-sided slopes. We left these areas to regenerate on their own.
Next to this property is Ontario Nature's Kinghurst Nature Reserve.
Kinghurst is a Managed Forest.
