Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) has announced it will begin re-welcoming the public to some of its properties this Saturday.
“The regular onboarding of seasonal maintenance staff was prevented due to COVID-19, resulting in a significant shortage of resources, however other staff and volunteers are working to conduct trail inspections and undertaking necessary maintenance and repairs despite these limitations,” said Tim Lanthier, GSCA Chief Administrative Officer in a press release.
Some of GSCA’s properties, including waterfalls and beaches, will remain closed at this time.
The conservation authority is also advising users to explore close to home in an effort to limit non-essential travel.
Trail users are also being asked to maintain physical distances when on the trails, avoid touching surfaces and to take all garbage home - including dog waste.
Amenities like washrooms and garbage receptacles will not be available at this time.
“GSCA appreciates everyone’s patience, as well as their comments and feedback during the closures, which highlight just how valuable GSCA trails are and how important access to nature is for community health and well-being,” Lanthier continued. “GSCA would also like to thank all of the volunteers that worked with staff to make this possible.”
