Eugenia Falls Cenotaph Naturalization Project
A Management Plan for Eugenia Falls Conservation Area has recently been approved to ensure sustainability of the property in terms of environmental protection, historical/cultural preservation and visitor amenities and experiences. The Cenotaph and associated Gingko tree are highlighted in the Plan with specific action items identified, including naturalizing the area around the Cenotaph site by planting a native garden.
A Unique Opportunity for Education, Celebration, and Remembrance
This initiative offers a unique opportunity to educate visitors, celebrate local ecology, and remember facets of the region’s heritage.
The goal of this project is to create a model wildflower garden and educational signage to demonstrate an alternative to planting non-native, sometimes invasive, species and high-maintenance lawns that often require chemical treatments.
The naturalized Cenotaph site will be a welcoming space for all to learn, celebrate, and remember.
Help us reach our goal of having the new gardens planted by Remembrance Day 2024!
