occurring no where else in canada!

We’re fortunate to be located in the heart of Carolinian Canada, the rarest ecosystem in the country. These forests weave through St. Thomas and into preserved conservation areas. Like branches extending from Lake Erie, creeks and rivers carve out natural spaces in our city, creating woodland corridors and keeping nature right at our doorstep.

Here is Lake Margaret. To the left is an old, thick tree stump. Beside the tree is grass and other wild plants that have started to grow. Behind the land is water and there are trees in the distance. The sky is overcast.

Top photo areas

Local street photographer Janine Jones writes about the many local places she explores to take photos in St. Thomas, from nature spots, to skylines, to heritage architecture.

The shot is taken low to the ground. At the bottom of the photo is the tips of green grass. To the left and right you can see large, full, green trees. Straight in the photo is a grass opening at the bottom of the hill. Passed the grass opening are more trees.
