The Woodland Heights Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected wilderness zone set aside as a place to explore and discover the secrets of the natural world.

Plans are underway to have the sanctuary officially protected under a conservation easement drafted by The Muskoka Heritage Foundation and the management of Woodland Heights.

The Wildlife Sanctuary will include a series of interpretive trails that will be strategically located to allow hikers a chance to explore and enjoy scenic views, woodland trails, wetlands, streams and mixed forest habitats.

A uniquely designed wildlife, viewing gazebo constructed to blend into the natural surroundings will allow visitors an opportunity to view the wildlife and enjoy the serenity of the area. A specially designed tree house (also known as a treezebo) will incorporate a unique experience that will allow visitors the opportunity to study and relax in an arboreal dwelling that compliments the tree and the surrounding nature.

As an added feature participants can also join our Woodland Heights Adopt-a - Feeder program. This unique program has been designed to allow the adopter to make a contribution towards the construction of a bird feeder that will be placed on the nature trail within the sanctuary. As an adopter you will receive a map to your feeder, a nature picture and your name engraved on the feeder identifying you as the sponsor.

Wildlife checklists pertaining to birds, animal tracks and butterflies will help visitors keep wildlife records of their observations while enjoying the sanctuary and the natural surroundings of Woodland Heights.

Our goal is to ensure that the residents of Woodland Heights take advantage and support this unique sanctuary.
