Kortright Centre for Conservation

Kortright Centre for Conservation is a 325-hectare protected area and educational facility in Vaughan, Ontario, on the northern edge of the Greater Toronto Area. Opened in 1979 and named for conservationist Francis Kortright, it is operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as both a green space and a public learning site. Its forested grounds, bordered by the Humber River, Cold Creek, and Harris Creek, include a 16-kilometre trail network, demonstration areas, and a Visitor Centre for programs and events. The site is also known for its annual Maple Syrup Festival, which interprets the history of maple syrup production from First Nations practices to modern sugar shacks.
