Brant Ventures in Nature

Letterboxing

The “Brant Ventures in Nature” project will establish a minimum of 10-15 letterbox locations throughout the five identified rural communities in Brant. Each of these letterboxes will be found and utilized by the public letterboxing network throughout the project and continue after the project is completed. “Brant Ventures in Nature” will also support the conception of five rural Neighbourhood Nature Clubs, providing them with the knowledge, skills and tools to be able to develop their own outdoor recreational activities in their specific community and beyond.

There are currently 5 letterboxes located in the County of Brant at the following locations; Butterfly Park in Scotland, Glen Morris Rail Trail, Onondaga Community Hall, Burford Lions Park and Mt. Pleasant Nature Park
