With only a few nights left to see it, the Illuminated Forest at Ken Reid Conservation Area near has been closed due to vandalism.
Kawartha Conservation made the announcement on social media on Saturday (December 30).
This was the second year for the popular nighttime family attraction, which saw hundreds of trees along the Cedar Forest trail adorned with lights.
The Illuminated Forest was open nightly from December 2 and was scheduled to continue until Tuesday (January 2).
However, vandals broke or damaged a number of the light strings, forcing Kawartha Conservation to close the attraction four days early. According to comments on social media, the damage was done sometime before Friday night.
“Why must people ruin something kind and wonderful for others,” asked one commenter. “Thank you to the volunteers who created a beautiful space to enjoy.”
