The Jonckheere – Fishers Creek Nature Reserve is one of Long Point Basin Land Trust’s top 50 priority sites and its third largest property, offering key ecological benefits by linking protected areas into a continuous wilderness corridor. Spanning 45.3 hectares (111.96 acres), it features diverse habitats—wetlands, grasslands, forests, and a cold-water trout stream—that help mitigate climate change by sequestering and storing carbon.

Crucial for conservation within the Lake Erie Lowland Ecoregion, it enhances habitat connectivity in the Long Point Walsingham Forest Priority Place. Species found here include the Louisiana Waterthrush, Eastern Foxsnake, Grey Ratsnake, and Tricoloured Bat.
