Rowsom's Tilbury Conservation Area Trail
Picnic shelter, group campground, fishing and hiking along the trails. Also one of the Memorial Forest sites.
The LTVCA has acquired land in the watershed (see watershed map) to protect environmentally sensitive lands, wetlands, culturally unique features such as the Ska-Nah-Doht Iroquoian Village and significant biological, ecological, historical and scenic qualities from development. Over 1,000 acres of conservation land have been preserved at 20 sites for public use across the LTVCA watershed. It is estimated that well over 1,000,000 people have made use of all the conservation lands over the years. The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Foundation helps to support the programs and facilities offered at these conservation lands. Volunteer groups are valuable partners, assisting the LTVCA with local initiatives, projects and events. Conservation Education programs are offered at several park.

Directions: From Tilbury, take County Road 46 west to County Road 37 and then turn left (south). Turn left at 7th road. Rowsom’s Tilbury West Conservation Area is located at the end of the road onto the left side.
