Kingsbridge Naturalized Area

The Town acquired 27 hectares of naturalized areas in 2023 as part of a subdivision development agreement. This naturalized area is protected lands with species at risk that remain untouched. These areas have been specially developed with species at risk in mind and are home to a variety of endangered and rare species. The lands are under order through the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP) and no mow zones that are protected. The public is not permitted to enter these lands. This large natural area has been created in the Kingsbridge community to provide habitat and a safe corridor for wildlife to travel through between local natural areas. Individuals in this community can help ensure the natural areas surround their homes thrive in this setting. Natural habitats, including a wildlife corridor have been incorporated within and adjacent to homes. In the east, existing natural wooded communities are being enhanced by creating open meadows beside them. These meadows continue through the community to create a wildlife corridor to the stormwater ponds in the west. A mixture of native grasses and flowers have been planted, and these will provide habitat for song bird
