QUINTE CONSERVATION TEMPORARILY CLOSES ALL AREAS FOR CLEANUP FROM ICE STORM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
April 1, 2025
The ice storm that moved through the Quinte Region over the weekend has caused damage to many of Quinte Conservation’s trails, forcing a temporary closure of each conservation area. Field Operations staff are working diligently to clear hazard trees, but this will take time as there are over 75 km of trails throughout the 13 conservation areas that Quinte Conservation manages.
Due to trail conditions, all of Quinte Conservation’s areas are closed temporarily. An alert will be posted to quinteconservation.ca once the areas are re-opened for public use. The Conservation Authority is asking the public to respect the temporary closure. Staff may be using heavy equipment to move downed trees and other debris.
A full list of Quinte’s conservation areas can be found at quinteconservation.ca/areas.
