GODERICH – Throughout time, poets, musicians and artists have paid tribute to forests.
Now, artists are invited to recognize a local forest at the southern border of Goderich that’s been enjoyed by naturalists for many decades, through every season.
By Bill Creighton.

One Comment on "All artists invited to celebrate the Maitland Woods"
Wow, yes, so much appreciated by all. Based on information gathered, there are some 11,000 people per year who walk the trails of the Maitland Woods Urban Forest (the largest single tract urban forest for a Town to own ) and I have personally documented thousands of species that are the Maitland Woods Urban Forest and with the WETLANDS (part 4) even more including some endangered species and some of heritage. Of special interest is the large European Black Ash that is in the wetlands and is known to be resistant to emerald ash borer, along with the largest Hybrid Crack Willow in the Province of Ontario. The WETLAND (part 4 of Plan 22R5535) is protected under the provincial regulations and by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.
