Located at 673 chemin Blackburn

This 17.5 acre property is a small oasis with hill and wetland terrain located in a very densely populated area of our domain in a narrow stretch of land between Lac Rhéaume and Lac Bataille, the two biggest lakes in Perkins-sur-le-Lac (PSLL).  In addition to providing a natural buffer in this dense area, protecting this property from development in perpetuity would provide a long-term refuge for both fauna and flora.  The land contains a significant wetland as well as a small amount of waterfront which would both be protected. We will be adding a small network of trails for the benefit of the community to experience passive recreational activities such as hiking and snowshoeing as well as running environmental educational events on this property.

Lease Agreement Completed

CPSLL has leased the property for the 2025 calendar year. We are working on marking a trail which will be open to CPSLL members only on June 28th, 2025. If you are not a member already, then please go to our “Donate/Membership” page and any individual can join for $50 (or $100 for a couple) per year.

Conditional Purchase Agreement Completed

CPSLL has negotiated a purchase agreement with the current owners. The agreement is conditional on raising the required funds of $250,000 through fundraising and conservation grants. Become a member this summer and explore the trails. We hope that you enjoy your experience on the property and would consider making a charitable donation to support this very worthwhile community initiative!!!

TRAILS OPEN TO CPSLL MEMBERS ON JUNE 28, 2025!!!

How to support this Purchase 

We are looking for pledges from the community to help support this initiative!  We need your help now, so please consider supporting our organization by pledging to donate towards the purchase of this property.  If our organization is successful in raising enough pledges to purchase this property, then we will work with you to change that pledge to a donation. You will receive a tax receipt in the full amount of your charitable contribution. 673 chemin Blackburn will be protected from development in perpetuity and CPSLL members will enjoy the trails throughout the year.

Please be a part of this important community venture and contact us to discuss how you can help with a pledge!
