The Essex Region Conservation Authority warns they will be actively patrolling conservation areas after seeing an increase of motoirzed vehicles on their sites.
The authority reminds residents that motorized vehicles are prohibited in all conservation areas and along the Greenway Trail System.
“We have received increasing reports of this illegal use and will be actively patrolling and issuing tickets to unauthorized users,” said Kevin Money, Director of Conservation Services. “Motorized vehicles are not permitted in our conservation areas or on our trail system under any circumstances.”
Violating the prohibition may result in a fine.
“We ask all visitors to respect posted signage and trail rules and to use to conservation areas and trails responsibly to ensure these natural areas can remain safe and protected,” said Money.
