MISSISSAUGA – The fall season is officially underway and with fall temperatures expected to be above the seasonal average, it’s a perfect time to get out and explore local conservation areas responsibly.
Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) has several parks that offer an ideal backdrop to take in the beautiful fall foliage.
“Some of the most vibrant fall colour change happens in the heart of our watershed,” said Terri LeRoux, senior manager, property, assets, recreation and conservation area services.
“Visitors can see a spectrum of colours at Terra Cotta Conservation Area or the Cheltenham Badlands because of the variety of trees at these locations.”
While at a park, visitors are asked to respect the hours of operation, all posted signage and enter through sanctioned access points only.
Dogs are welcome at CVC parks, however they must be kept on a leash of two metres or less at all times for safety. Visitors are asked to remain on designated trails and use waste stations to avoid littering.
CVC expects the fall season to be busy at the parks. Visitor and parking capacity limits are in place to ensure physical distancing. Visitors should be prepared to turn back if a property is full.
CVC recommends that visitors check its park advisories before leaving home for the latest updates and fall colours report at each park.
Visitors can also enjoy fall colours at CVC’s other parks. To learn more about the parks, visit cvc.ca.
