Marthaville Habitat Management Area

This is a conservation area located 1 km north of the village of Marthaville on the west side of Marthaville Rd. (Or travel 3.7 km north on Marthaville Rd. from Petrolia Line just west of Petrolia) This is a former gravel pit area near Petrolia converted into a wetland.

There is a trail around the perimeter that goes through some wooded area on the south, and has good views of the wetland. This demonstration for gravel pit rehabilitation includes wetlands, forests, and tall grass prarie.

A 3 km loop trail provides an excellent vantage point to watch the development of the site into a haven for wildlife.
