As Mike Hackman wrote, "This Maple remembers Columbus’ time with the first pioneers and trappers in Canada and is still alive. It is 24.5 metres (80 feet) tall with a crown circumference of 38 metres (125 feet), with the trunk itself measuring 6 metres (20 feet) at the base.
The Comfort Maple tree is an individual sugar maple (Acer saccharum).The tree is estimated (not based upon a complete ring count) to be about 500 years old.
It was named after the Comfort family, who acquired the land in 1816. The land around the tree was donated by Miss Edna Eleanor Comfort to the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority on April 30, 1961, area in the Town of Pelham, Ontario.
There are more such old trees in Ontario.
For example the Dwarfed cliff cedar, Thuja occidentalis, which was more than 1,320 years old, still lives in the Niagara region. So it started sprouting around 690 AD. At a time when even the Vikings didn’t know about America."

St. Johns Conservation Area Enhancement Project
Sep 11, 2022 09:26 pm | myNiagara Online Community Platform
The NPCA is pleased to announce that the St. John’s Conservation Area parking lot and pedestrian trails are being upgraded to ensure safe and accessible enjoyment of this beautiful natural area. The existing parking lot and driveway will receive a new drainage system and granular surface to provide for a smooth ride and entry into the conservation area. The parking lot will now feature six dedicated accessible parking spaces adjacent to the pond access trail.
A dedicated barrier-free asphalt parking area and reconstructed pedestrian trails and washroom sidewalks will improve access for visitors with mobility needs.
Additionally, an infiltration gallery constructed on the edge of the parking lot will direct storm runoff into the ground to help recharge local groundwater.
This work is anticipated to begin in mid-September. More information about this project will be released on NPCA channels and at npca.ca.
For more information on this project, please contact Adam Christie, Director, Conservation Areas at achristie@npca.ca.
