VERNON — The Regional District of North Okanagan has secured a nature reserve property.
The RDNO said it has acquired a lakefront property on the east side of Swan Lake, solidifying its status as the Jordan Nature Reserve.
The 1.8 hectare property, located at 7710 Lockdale Rd., was originally purchased by Dr. Laurance Jordan in 1968 , and after his death his sons decided to honour the late-doctor’s passion for nature and bird watching and establish the land as a nature reserve for public use.
The Jordan Nature Reserve property will also remain accessible to the Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club, which has operated in that area for decades.
