This property, located at the headwaters of the Pottawatomi River, was purchased in 1996 from Robert and Shirley Walker. It encompasses a wetland and retired farm pasture that support a diverse array of resident and migratory wildlife species. Adjacent to a 78-acre parcel owned by the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority, this area presents an excellent opportunity for a joint project to enhance its ecological value.

​

The Sydenham Conservation Foundation is currently preparing a master plan for the Walker Wetlands. This plan aims to enhance wildlife habitat while considering existing agricultural uses on surrounding lands, ensuring a balanced approach to conservation and land management.
