Thickson’s Woods Land Trust is a charitable organization with a mandate in our charter to maintain the area as a nature reserve and "to protect the flora and fauna" in perpetuity. Since many donations have been given in good faith for this express purpose, we are legally bound to ensure that the land is maintained in its natural state as outlined in our charter.

As for the long-term future of the property, we have discussed the question many times. A couple of options are: to turn ownership over to some wider conservation organization, provincial or national, that could ensure protection; or to maintain ownership, but put what is called a conservation easement on the property, restricting uses so that it can never be anything but a nature sanctuary.
