Rose Hill Nature Reserve is mostly forested with four small ponds, wetlands and several creeks. It is at a high elevation for southern Ontario and is dominated by several long, steep ridges with rock outcrops and glacial erratics common on the domed hills and slopes. Where the hillsides face northward exists one of the most well developed eastern Ontario stands of Hemlock, a tree that has been on a serious decline in parts of adjoining United States and Ontario. You can hike the Hemlock Trail through this grove. On the lower slopes with deep soils some Hemlock are very large with an age probably much exceeding 100 years.
The public is encouraged to visit Rose Hill Nature Reserve to learn more about the importance of conservation and protection at this important natural area.
