Public Comment Period Open on the Draft Master Plan for Coldstream Conservation Area
The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) is seeking public comment on a draft Master Plan for Coldstream Conservation Area, located in the municipality of Middlesex Centre. Guided by strategic actions identified in the Authority’s 2023 – 2028 strategic plan, the goal of the Master Plan is to create an updated vision and a clear set of objectives that will inform decision-making related to the management of Coldstream Conservation Area.
As the population within the St. Clair Region grows, pressure on natural spaces for recreational, mental health, and passive use will increase exponentially. The draft Master Plan identifies opportunities that will ensure the management of the Coldstream Conservation Area continues to be economically and environmentally sustainable while enhancing visitor experience.

The Coldstream Conservation Area, located at 327 Quaker Lane in Middlesex Centre, features two trails – the trail in the south end of the Conservation Area takes you through a cedar swamp, a rare experience in Southwestern Ontario. The trail north of Coldstream Road is a wonderful place for spring wildflowers and birds.
