The Heritage Forest Commission was formed in 2001 following the formation of the Brown Property Preservation Society (BPPS) which was established to raise funds for the purchase of the 50 acres of forested lands from the Brown family.
Initially, the purpose of the Commission was to formulate a registered Conservation Covenant to protect and manage the Heritage Forest as a nature park for the appreciation and enjoyment of nature by the public in perpetuity. The Covenant was successfully legally executed in 2008 and the Commission continues to provide good management and development of the Heritage Forest.
