"Nature offers one of the best ways to spark curiosity. That's why it's more important than ever to have an accessible, natural space like the Bruce Trail available for this next generation to explore."
"I’m able to enjoy the
Niagara Escarpment today because
others before me supported the effort to
secure the Bruce Trail permanently and
make it available for everyone. I want
this to continue, and I want to
contribute."
"By preserving the ribbon of wilderness and ensuring it can’t be paved over, we are investing in our health and access to nature. This goal is not about profit. It’s about the opportunity to donate for the good of everyone – people and nature."
"We’ve enjoyed and appreciated easy access to the Bruce Trail for years. If others get the chance to experience that too, then our gift will have made a difference."
"The BTC is more than just a hiking trail for us. It’s about all the land around the Trail and the protection of the Niagara Escarpment."
"I decided to include a gift in my will to the Bruce Trail Conservancy because it’s doing such important work to help protect and preserve the Niagara Escarpment. With all the development pressures and building going on throughout southern Ontario, I feel securing land permanently for conservation is more important than ever. The Bruce Trail has also brought me so much joy over the years, nurturing my love for nature and adventure. It’s something I would like future generations to experience."
"Over time, we saw how the Escarpment was being encroached from all sides, and we felt that there was a strong need to support it, so that at least some parts of it would remain wild."
"I remember feeling helpless and thinking how great it would be if the Bruce Trail Conservancy could secure 100% of the Trail. Being a student at the time, I decided that when I was in a position to do more, I would."
"The Bruce Trail allowed me to discover the beauty of southern Ontario, and develop new friendships with people who shared my passion for hiking and the outdoors."
"Preserving a precious piece of Ontario for generations to come, and giving others the ability to enjoy what I have in my lifetime, is the legacy I want to leave behind."
