The 44.3-acre DeCloet Family Forest Legacy extends Norfolk County’s Paul DeCloet Forest in the Clear Creek Valley, enhancing biodiversity with its mix of upland, lowland, and wetland habitats.
A cold-water trout stream, a key tributary of Clear Creek, flows through the property providing a movement corridor for wildlife and supporting migratory birds and species at risk.
Restoration plans include seeding native plants to transform former agricultural fields into diverse native meadow, further buffering the Clear Creek corridor.
The DeCloet Family Forest Legacy reflects the family’s commitment to safeguarding Norfolk County’s natural heritage for future generations.
