Sinclair’s Bush is a 46 hectare
forest. In 1987, through the Carolinian Canada Program, the LTVCA acquired a 1.6
hectare parcel of land within Sinclair’s Bush. The Ministries of Natural
Resources and Culture and Communication’s Ontario Heritage Foundation provided
the funding. This foundation contributed 50% of the cost, which was matched by
Wildlife Habitat Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada (through a donation
from Union Gas – Chatham). Approximately, 33 hectares of private lands in
Sinclair’s bush are protected through landowner cooperation.
