Loretto Maryholme is located in Roches Point, a community that is very interested in conserving the natural heritage of the area. The area is home to foxes, deer, turkeys, coyotes. The village has undertaken the establishment and care of an ecopark on the site of a former federal government dock. A sizable property surrounding the village is in trust to the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority.
Loretto Maryholme's property is between these two areas. It's long road frontage is ideally suited for establishing a hedgerow to encourage safe wildlife movement.The hedgerow mini-ecosystem has all the key ingredients that an animal needs to survive: food, shelter, nesting and denning sites. Currently we have shrubs and bushes in place including cedars, wild raspberry, hawthorn, serviceberry, dogwood, red-berried elder, and choke cherry.
