Upper Thames River Conservation Authority Conservation Area Day Passes can now be borrowed from the Library. These passes are valid for the current season start...ing on May 21 and can be used at Fanshawe, Wildwood and Pittock Conservation Areas. They allow for day use by up to 4 persons, walking, biking or in one vehicle. Passes can be borrowed for 7 days and picked up and returned at any library location. Find out more about borrowing a UTRCA Park Pass and place a hold at this link: https://www.londonpubliclibrary.ca//what-can-i/park-passes UPDATE: don't let the length of the hold list stop you from placing your hold so you can borrow a pass in the future. Sometimes those hold lists move very quickly! Fanshawe Conservation Area offers many great day use activities, including 24km of walking trails and 20 km of biking trails.
