Our Forest Sanctuary
Dyers Bay Wild by Nature Forest Sanctuary
953 Dyers Bay Rd, Miller Lake, ON
Barbara purchased the property years ago when it was a depleted quarry, and has restored a slice of UNESCO world biosphere paradise by planting over a thousand native trees and pollinator-friendly plants since. Our forest sanctuary has been designated by both the National Wildlife Federation and Canadian Wildlife Federation as a certified wildlife habitat. Native species have returned in abundance to these lands! Peregrine falcons, owls, hawks, bald eagles, flocks of bluebirds, foxes, porcupines, minks and black bears have travelled through this wonderful forest. Our forest bathing experience will lead you up the path through the red doors in the forest, stepping into an awe-inspiring experience. Give yourself permission to slow down and wander, while noticing wildlife and nature all around you. Meander along a stream which disappears beneath your feet, stroll through butterfly meadows, and reflect in the healing garden. Enjoy mindful movement on the yoga mats awaiting you at the gathering green, surrounded by lavender & wildflowers. Finally up the limestone steps to enjoy wild-tended tea and lavender-infused refreshments at the base of the magnificent escarpment “flowerpot” – the hidden gem of the Bruce Peninsula!
Our Dyers Bay property is located just south of Bruce National Park and is located adjacent to the Bruce Trail, and municipal parking lot at Dyers Bay. Local points of interest include the beautiful Cabot Head lighthouse, which is currently closed for the season and the Dyers Bay public dock offering a spectacular view of turquoise Dyers Bay waters and the Niagara Escarpment. Bruce Trail access and a public parking lot is conveniently located right beside our property.
