Get out and explore all that the region has to offer. Recreation in a natural setting has proven physical, mental and spiritual health benefits. For just $80 each year, you can hike or bike nearly 100 kilometres of trail, see rare bird species during the spring and fall migration celebration, and bring your family to dozens of fun events and explore the beautiful and rare natural areas in the Essex Region – as many times as you like!
