Spanning more than 13,000 hectares across over 150 properties, the Simcoe County Forest is one of the largest municipal forest systems in Ontario. Originally established in the early 1920s to restore worn-out farmland and sandy wastelands, it has grown into a network of forests, wetlands, and recreation areas used for walking, cycling, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing. Today, the forest continues to be actively managed for conservation, habitat protection, recreation, and sustainable forestry, making it a unique example of large-scale reforestation success in Ontario.
