The Howard Watson Nature Trail is located on an abandoned CN rail right of way running from McGregor Side Road in Sarnia's south end to Camlachie, east of Sarnia. It is approximately 22 km in length and runs through both urban and rural areas. In 1988 Lambton Wildlife Inc. managed to persuade Sarnia Township council to abandon their plan to sell off the trail to abutting landowners, and LWI agreed to manage the trail at no cost to taxpayers for an initial three year period. A couple of years later the trail was named in honour of Sarnia Township council member Howard Watson who was the only council member who supported the project from the beginning. Today LWI continues to be involved in the managgement of the trail via the Howard Watson Nature Trail committee. The trail is used daily by many walkers, joggers, cyclists, nature lovers, cross country skiers in winter and many others.

One of our major projects , the Insect Inventory of the area around Port Franks and Pinery, is considered as one of the most important insect base line studies in recent years. A local amateur entymologist, Jeff Skevington, was hired to collect bugs over a summer and coordinated the identification and categorization of the insects captured over the ensuing period of six years. Jeff went on to gain his PhD and is now resident at Agriculture Canada in Ottawa. The final report has been published and is available from LWI.
