1975 – Mandaumin Woods Official Opening

On April 26, 1975, a cool but sunny spring day, Dr. Peter Tasker, LWI’s first President, presided over the official opening of Mandaumin Woods. This was the first property purchased by Lambton Wildlife. It is a 25 acre Carolinian woodlot located just south of the village of Mandaumin.

This property was dedicated to the memory of LWI Conservationist Laura Knight.  scan0001
