THE BRUCE TRAIL CONSERVANCY
brucetrail.org
In 1960 the idea of a public footpath spanning the Niagara Escarpment in Southern Ontario was born. Never in Canadian history had a trail of this scope been realized. Raymond Lowes articulated this vision of a footpath to friend Robert Bateman at a meeting of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. And so, the Bruce Trail Conservancy came into being with a vision to secure a permanently protected natural footpath along the entire Niagara Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory- a 900 km trail traversing public and privately-owned land.
In 2019, Agawa Canyon Inc. was proud to be one of the many hundreds of donors who helped fund the purchase and preservation of Driftwood Cove – 3,276 acres of Bruce Peninsula wilderness and 8 km of Bruce Trail.

Through the power of the outdoors, we help youth transform their lives.
