Bon Echo - The Storm of 2022

This sign is displayed on the High Pines hiking trail.

On May 21, 2022, a massive derecho storm hit parts of
Ontario and Bon Echo Provincial Park was directly in its path.

What is a derecho? It's a long-lived, fast-moving thunderstorm with straight-line winds that causes widespread wind damage.
The storm flattened thousands of trees in the park, including the
area you are looking at.

The forest here has changed. Now it's more open, allowing sunlight to reach areas that were heavily shaded. Grasses and
other plants will take advantage of the available light followed by shrubs and trees. This forest succession will benefit the wildlife here and the greater ecosystem.

The photos on this panel show how the area looked after the storm. Do you notice anything different compared to the photos? New plants that weren't there before? Has the forest canopy changed?
Time will tell how this storm will shape the future of the park
we love.
