About Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area
The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area (ASCCA) is a 4,800 acre day-use habitat conservation area and nocturnal preserve.
The land was generously donated by Alexander ‘Sandy’ Rothney Cross and his wife Ann in 1987, at the time the largest donation of its kind in Canada. Ann and Sandy’s gift came with a wish that their land remain in its natural state to provide vital habitat for wildlife, and exist as a living classroom for students and visitors of all ages to learn about the value of environmental conservation.
