The Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks is investing $1 million through its Species Conservation Program and the Ontario Land Trust Alliance to help the Bruce Trail Conservancy transform the former Talisman Mountain Resort into the 123-acre (50-hectare) Talisman Forest Nature Reserve. The project will permanently add a nearly 1-kilometre section to the 900-kilometre Bruce Trail along the Niagara Escarpment by removing old ski resort infrastructure, reforesting ski slopes, and restoring meadow and forest habitats for species at risk. The funding is part of a broader expansion of the Species Conservation Program, which has provided the Ontario Land Trust Alliance with over $12.5 million over five years to support local land securement and conservation initiatives.
