Managed Lands
The County of Lambton and the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority have developed land management plans for seven county-owned parcels of land.
The management plans provide a detailed review of each property including available recreational trails, flora and fauna, and future management activities to encourage their natural development and protection.
The public is welcome to enjoy these assets, but are asked to please respect the rights of others as well as the environment within.

Peter Szabo Memorial Forest Wetland Enhancement
The County of Lambton and St. Clair Region Conservation Authority have added a wetland feature within the Peter Szabo Memorial Forest in Wyoming.
The wetland feature has been built in a naturally low quarter acre area of the forest where dead or damaged trees were present. Swales, drainage ways, and shallow pools were created and planted with suitable native species. The area also contains habitat for wildlife. New trees will be planted over time in more suitable locations within the forest to replace any removals that took place.
The new wetland feature makes better use of the forest’s natural topography and is a welcome addition to the existing tree and pollinator plantings around the Lambton County Administration Building and Lambton County Library Headquarters/Lambton County Archives.
