R.C. Mellish - Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada - Citizen Memorials on Waymarking.com

The plaque is located along the Bruce Trail, near the Millen Rd Side Trail. It is place to acknowledge a donation made to the Bruce Trail Conservancy. The plaque reads:

IN RECOGNITION OF A GENEROUS DONATION TO THE BRUCE TRAIL CONSERVANCY FROM MR. R.C. MELLISH. JUNE 2007.

I didn't find anything online about this donation, aside from it being included in a list of donations in the 2007-2008 Bruce Trail Annual Report where R.C. Mellish is listed as having donated between $5000 and $9999 to the Bruce Trail Conservancy.

The Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath, provides the only continuous public access to the magnificent Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Running along the Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory, it spans more than 890 km of main Trail and over 400 km of associated side trails.

The Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC) is a charitable organization committed to establishing a conservation corridor containing a public footpath along the Niagara Escarpment, in order to protect its natural ecosystems and to promote environmentally responsible public access to this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

The BTC is one of Ontario's largest land trusts, responsible for the preservation of almost 10,000 acres of irreplaceable Niagara Escarpment landscape.
