Reid Conservation Area
This property is one of the newer additions to St. Clair Region’s conservation areas. It is a 170 acre property that was donated to the SCRCA and has almost 4 km of Sydenham River shoreline. It consists of deciduous forest with dominance of several species of oak. An ancient oxbow valley provides a wetland that harbours lots of wildlife. In the summer of 2008, a colony of Southern (Northern) Oak Hairstreaks was discovered here—this being the first such colony in Canada! The rare for Ontario Dukes’ Skipper has also been recorded here. At least 55 species of butterflies have been recorded on the property.
