Background:

Boview Farm was formerly home to Mary and Paul Harding, and it has been generously bequested to TTLT as a way of continuing the Hardings’ great conservation efforts and legacy. The name “Boview Farm” originates from two associations with the land – the Oxbow Creek that partly runs through it and the bovines (beef cattle) that once grazed its pastures.

Description:

Boview Farm is a 34.40-hectare (85-acre) site located in Middlesex Centre. This beautiful reserve boasts forest, grassland, wetlands, and floodplain. Over sixty species of trees, thirty-two species of birds, and twenty-six species of fish have been recorded at Boview Farm so far, including many species at risk. Paul and Mary Harding’s commitment to conservation, reflected in their efforts such as consistent tree-planting, left a great mark that TTLT looks forward to building on in future restoration work.
