Walpole Island First Nation makes up part of the large delta at the mouth of the St. Clair River covering some 91 square miles and is part of the First Nation's unceded territory.
Walpole Island First Nation is situated in the heart of the country's most developed region - where agricultural land and industrial development cover the landscape. Yet, the First Nation has managed to sustain some of the most ecologically significant natural areas remaining in Ontario and Canada - including many of Canada's species at risk.
With such natural diversity, Walpole Island First Nation receives many requests by individuals, nature groups, nature enthusiasts, students, school groups, researchers, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and others interested in exploring the natural areas on Walpole Island for various purposes.
The lands on Walpole Island First Nation are held communally (Band land) and by private landholders - access is restricted. To manage and protect the natural areas and asssociated plants and animals - Walpole Island First Nation limits access to all outsiders in an effort to minimize potential human impacts. All those interested in visiting Walpole Island's natural areas must provide a written letter of request to the Walpole Island First Nation. This formal request should also include the proposed date(s) and timeframe of the visit, number of people involved, area of interest, and contact information(address, phone number, e-mail, fax).
