"Laurier Woods is growing" campaign February 2011
In 2011 Laurier Woods has taken up the challenge of adding 100 acres of provincially significant wetland to the existing park that will double the size of the protected trail areas.
If you share our appreciation for what has become North Bay's most enjoyed wetland park, please consider supporting our fundraising campaign and be a part of conserving more of the Laurier Woods area to be protected and enjoyed by future generations.
For your donation of $100 or more you will receive a certificate of appreciation and be added to our website list of Laurier Woods patrons.
For sponsorships of one full acre of $1,000 or more ( and we have 100 acres available to be sponsored ) you will receive a framed certificate and be added to a plaque acknowledging major supporters to be installed later in the Fall of this year.
Laurier Woods truly is a wetland park gem in our community and its ongoing success and growth is a wonderful opportunity that we hope you will be a part of. We greatly appreciate any consideration you can give to joining us and look forward to hearing from you or seeing you on the trails.

Laurier Woods Is Growing campaign poster
The "Laurier Woods Is Growing" campaign poster includes photography from Kaye Edmonds, Andrew Levitt and Chris Mayne and reflects the seasons, beauty and diversity of the wetland conservation area. Originally proposed as a bird sanctuary by the Nipissing Naturalists, birding has been an important part of the parks history. Deer tracks are frequently seen along the trails while beaver and turtles also share the same habitat.
The main image is a lady slipper, which is also part of the Friends of Laurier Woods logo as seen at the bottom right of the poster. The North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority logo at lower left reflects that they are co-owners of the conservation area and that NBMCA staff have been very supportive of the campaign to add 100 acres to the park.
