Future Plans For Holiday Beach Revealed Tuesday Night

The Essex Region Conservation Authority wants the public's take on its plans for the Holiday Beach Conservation Area in Amherstburg.

It's holding an open house at the Libro Credit Union Centre from 4pm to 7pm Tuesday.

The public can take a look at the draft master plan which includes new trials and maybe a raptor centre while protecting the site's ecological integrity.

"Holiday Beach Conservation Area provides important habitat values, is a beautiful beach destination and features more than 70 seasonal campsites," says Director of Conservation Services Kevin Money. "It's also world renowned for fall birding and was named the third best fall migration viewing site in all of North America by Audubon Magazine."

The draft plan was developed in consultation with park users and stakeholders.
