A new pedestrian walkway can complete the dream of Bayfield and area people to ‘connect the community with nature’ at Bayfield River Flats, according to Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy (HTLTC) and Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA). It will cost more than $50,000 to complete the walkway and the organizations say public support is needed to make the walkway a reality.
The Bayfield River Flats is owned by HTLTC and the land trust protects it permanently as a habitat for wildlife. “The Flats is a natural gem only a short walk from Bayfield’s Main Street,” said HTLTC Chair Max Morden. “Home to eagles and ospreys and species at risk, it’s a place where people can both appreciate and preserve nature.” Volunteers from the Trail Association manage the property at no cost to the public.
The land trust’s Chair encourages local people to watch for further details about the fundraising campaign on the planned ‘Walkway to the Future’ evening in support of the project.
