*************************
As the NVCA is unable to ensure safe physical distancing during our annual Arbour Day tree sale, we have made the decision to cancel the popular event this year. We understand this may be a disappointment for many, however, the safety of our staff, visitors and the community is our ​priority.

However, we are still accepting​ tree planting applications for the spring of 2021.

The minimum requirements for tree planting is one acre or 500 trees. For information, please contact Rick Grillmayer, Manager of Forestry at [email protected] April 3, 2020

Updates:

Effective immediately and until further notice, all NVCA conservation areas and trails will be closed to all members of public, including annual membership pass holders and hunters.​ This closure has been put in place to ensure the safety of the public.

NVCA trails and conservation areas will not be maintained during this closure. NVCA will continue to monitor the developments of COVID-19 and re-open our conservation areas when deemed safe for public use.​
