Roughly a year ago, we had the privilege of a visit from Greg Zilberbrandt from McMaster University and the Beyond Academy who connected us to Glen Prevost from the Ontario Woodlot Association. This connection has helped us achieve a Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification through the Eastern Ontario Model Forest certification program (FSC® C018800).
This certification is only given to forests which fit a list of criteria of sustainably managed forests. Often, these certifications are provided to woodlots which produce and harvest lumber and other wood products. However, we are extremely excited to officially announce that we are the first Ecotourism Resort in Canada to receive this designation!
At Long Point Eco-Adventures, we take great pride in not only sustainably managing our forest on site, but more importantly, in the creation and offering of experiences which immerse our guests in learning about the ecosystem of our unique Carolinian Forest.
We strive to deliver experiences which build a connection between people and their
environment and leave our guests with the newfound knowledge and appreciation of
natural spaces. It is our hope to foster a lasting desire to continue their own
sustainability journeys when they return home.
Those visiting our new restaurant, lobby and board rooms will be treated to live edge
features from trees sustainably harvested from our on-site forest!

Is that the Northern lights on Lake Erie?! 😍 The show is on until 5am Norfolk county! Go out to catch a glimpse :)
It's very rare that we get to see the Northern lights here in Southwestern Ontario! 😎 It's only happening because of the intense solar flares converging this time of year! Intense aurora displays are generated following massive explosions on the Sun known as 'coronal mass ejections'. These explosions release clouds of hot plasma containing billions of tons of material travelling at around two million miles per hour.
Such a special moment. We hope everyone has had a fantastic Friday night!! 😘🌌💫

Long Point Eco-Adventures opened it’s doors in 2009, with the launch of a brand new Zipline & Canopy tour. In 2010, the Observatory opened, and astronomy tours began to run in the evening on weekends. The Big Creek Kayak tour also launched in 2010 and Big Creek has affectionately become known as Canada’s Amazon with it’s amazing scenery and wildlife.
The company has continued to grow throughout the years, with addition of our glamping accommodations, (including Wilderness Suites, Wilderness Pods, and Camping Pods), and many other activities, both on-site and off-site. We truly have an activity for everyone! On-site activities include: ziplining, astronomy, apiary tours, ax throwing, mountain biking, and leisure cycling tours. Off-site activities include: kayaking, boat tours and fishing.
In 2011, the Burning Kiln Winery opened it’s doors, and a great partnership was formed. With the addition of great wine and food, our overnight guest packages were complete!
Long Point Eco-Adventures takes pride in the environmental leadership that can be seen across the site and on many of the adventures we offer. We have partnered with ALUS (Alternative Land Use Services) to create projects on site to protect the natural habitat that had been lost when the land was converted into a to***co farm decades ago.
We strive to continue to demonstrate our environmental and cultural stewardship through the education and story telling that takes place during many of our adventures on and off-site. Providing visitors with the history and heritage of the area provides a deeper understanding of the local landscape and the importance of the environment and the role that it has played in the local heritage and culture. In partnership with Burning Kiln Winery, guests are educated on the original and current uses of land surrounding the property; the lengths taken to continually improve the habitat provided to plants, animals, amphibians and other native species as well as how we plan to reduce our footprint on the beautiful space that we call ‘home.’
We now employ over 40 staff each season, primarily local youth, providing higher than minimum wage job opportunities in the outdoor education and adventure sphere. These positions provide a learning opportunity for guides as they are encouraged to expand their knowledge base and are given opportunities on-site to pass on their knowledge gained to other guides and guests. Through this practice, we provide sustainable job opportunities to local job seekers and in turn is work to build employee skills to increase their employ-ability for the future.
We encourage both staff and guests to be outside more often, be physically active and develop a deeper sense of understanding and respect for nature. Through school-based programs such as our nature hikes, guides and students gain a greater appreciation for our own backyards, and how we fit into these ecosystems.
As we grow, the need for products and services for the site also grows. We take every opportunity to use local, sustainable and handmade products for the site to ensure guests are provided with the highest quality experience and see the bounty that is being produced in Norfolk County and Ontario. Made-in-Canada merchandise is sold in our tuck shop and local craftsman create the rustic-inspired decor that outfits the pods. Even the pods themselves are handmade in Ontario.
Here at Long Point Eco-Adventures, we strive for continual improvement, hoping to grow and develop our employees and contribute to the growth of the local economy.
