For Immediate Release: July 29, 2020
LITTLE BLUFF CONSERVATION AREA CLOSURE - UPDATE #1
Starting Friday, July 31, 2020, Little Bluff Conservation Area will be closed for use until further notice. The decision to re-open the area will be evaluated on a week by week basis starting August 14th. Any use of the area is not permitted at this time. Individuals are asked to respect the closure and those caught violating this closure may be subject to a fine.
The decision to limit vehicle access into the area was made last week and although Quinte Conservation does not have the authority to stop individuals from parking roadside, it was not encouraged. This however, did not deter individuals from parking along the municipal road in order to access the area. After multiple reports regarding the safety of other drivers trying to pass parked vehicles on the narrow road, Quinte Conservation has made the difficult decision to completely close the area until further notice.
Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring the area closely and encourage neighbours of Little Bluff to report their concerns and non-emergencies to 613-968-3434 or by email at info@quinteconservation.ca.
