Plants and animals

Plants

The trail passes through or near farmland, bush, and wetlands. Bush Wetlands In the woodland areas, you can see woodland plants like Trilliums Trembling aspen (left) Dogwoods Other native woodland plant species The adjacent wetlands, include provincially significant wetland areas near the trail's beginning in Guelph. There are also wetlands near Elmira.

Animals

Many of the that you'll see on the trail are on adjacent farms. If you pass through Ariss, you might even see a llama or two!

The woods, rivers, streams, and wetlands are also habitats for many native songbirds. By creating a greenway, the trail also provides a buffer and corridor for animals.

Creating a greenway

The Kissing Bridge Trailway provides a protected corridor that allows native plant species to re-establish. We're also planting trees to provide an overhead canopy for the trail. This greenway provides a number of benefits:

• Provides a screen and habitat for animals
• Helps native plants get re-established
• Will help introduce more variety in the animals, bird species
• Provides a corridor animals can move through
