The Caesars Windsor Nature Trail has opened in Windsor.
The 4.5-kilometre trail at Devonwood Conservation Area has been completely resurfaced to improve safety, accessibility and natural connections at Windsor’s only Conservation Area. In addition to the overhauled trails, benches have been rebuilt, the parking lot improved and a light added.
The trail also supports the greatest diversity of oak trees in Canada, according to the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA).
“It’s hard to believe this forest oasis is located right in the heart of such a highly urbanized area. When you walk these trails, you can feel the stresses of life melting away," said Claire Wales, vice president of the Essex Region Conservation Foundation, in a press release.
The trail was made possible through a donation from Caesars Windsor.
“By providing today’s grant to rebuild this beautiful, 4.5-kilometre trail system, Caesars Windsor is bringing our environmental commitment outside of our property to benefit the entire community for many years to come,” said Mary Riley, vice president of marketing at Caesars Windsor.
