The Whitchurch Conservation Area is about an 11-hectare property in Whitchurch – Stouffville. Since Ballantrae is a small hamlet located in the town of Whitchurch – Stouffville, the Whitchurch Conservation Area is located within the original town itself. With human-induced changes being made to the property, the population of plants and animals was moving steadily towards elimination. After the restoration, plants have matured, and the forest has successfully grown.
