Conservation Halton has implemented a Top Rope Ban in the Mount Nemo Conservation Area. In the Rattlesnake Point and Kelso areas, a cedar ban and tree-wrapping program has been put in place. This means that cedars are not to be used as anchors. Other trees are to be wrapped to protect the bark of the tree.

This is the first step in a two-year program to get all ropes off of the trees. More information and new guidelines will be made available through handouts at all gatehouses, on our Web site at

Conservation Halton will not be closing any of our existing climbing areas. Neither will we be opening any new climbing areas.
