About

The Lawson Nature Reserve was generously donated by Dr. John Lawson, a respected physician, naturalist and long-time member of Ontario Nature. In 1976, he bought the 15-hectare property just south of Ingersoll, solely to conserve the land and return it to its natural state.

The Ingersoll District Nature Club is the official steward of the reserve.

Goodmorningtimes, everybuddy!! 😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️

All ready plus all set to go-go-go DOOP DEE DOOPING inna soopercool wilderpark most peoples do not even know ‘bout!!?? ‘Cuz truestory for reals no joshing seriousface, this park is alla ‘bout The Naturemama plus alla her babies, BUTT a teensy chirpybird tolded me … it is alsotimes sorta …. DANGEROUS. Yes. So we are gonna have to be real careful and stuff too, K? K!! SAFETY FIRSTEST, AFTERALLS!!

For this here Park Review, we are gonna have to be sorta like INDIANBANANA JONES from the picturemovies!! Sorta!! Butt ‘stead of hunting for artefacteroids from oldentimesdays, we are gonna be hunting for a ‘mazing wildertrails for exploradventuring on!! YES!!

So put on your walkingsocks, plus slurp some zoomersjuice, ‘Cuz now is when we go-go-go to check out … LAWSON NATURE RESERVE!!

Here is what you will find when you firstest get to there, everybuddy!! Like I was sayings, it is just sorta on the side of a country-type dustyroad with no ‘fficial PARKING RODEO. There is just a little chunk of space close to where you go-go-go in for maybe won or too rollycars!! Yes!!

Butt there are wordysigns for checking out, so ‘least that is good!!

YES!! ‘Cuz no wordysigns is a peevy pet of mine, everybuddy!! The WORSTEST!! Sure is!! Plus my most favouritist wordysign so fars is that won that says ….

That is a ‘mazing way to say to treat The NatureMama plus all her babies with lotsa lovings!! I like it!! Then there s the ‘fficial wordysign that says LAWSON NATURE RESERVE too, butt if your lookingmarblres try real hard, you will find OTHER waymoresmaller wordysigns that will tell you ‘bout stuffs alla ‘round you!! ……….
