A distinct cultural and ecological landscape

The Reformatory lands are a strange and wonderful opportunity in my mind. I have used them to hike, fish, forage and picnic throughout my life just like many other locals. I have participated in organized garbage cleanups there, and taught children there through the Guelph Outdoor School. these lands mean a lot to me but i have always felt a hint of sadness there, people often litter and don't treat it with the respect it deserves. For a long time now I've wanted someone to take a more active stewardship role there.
