Abstract

The Fred & Pearl Barry Wetland Reserve is a 100 acre property that includes
approximately 62 acres of wetland. It was donated to HHLT in 2012 by Dennis Barry.
The property is located at the southern end of South Lake, in the Township of Minden
Hills, Haliburton. The area is located at the headwaters of the provincially significant
wetland, the Kendrick Creek Wetland Complex, which feeds into the Irondale and Burnt
Rivers. In 2021, in cooperation with Glenside Ecological Services LTD this wetland
reserve was designated within a large wildlife corridor, The Highlands Corridor, and was
recognized to have features that are resilient to the effects of climate change. The
wetland reserve’s land was donated in 2012 by Dennis Barry through the Government
of Canada’s Ecological gifts program (HHLT, 2023). Unfortunately, due to the relative
sensitivity of the wetland and the mixed terrain that can pose safety risks to humans, it
is not available to the public
