Help with ideas to monetize 18 acre forested property with trails

Title is self explanatory but I live on 1 beautiful 18 acre parcel in a forested valley with a creek and 3km's of personal hiking trails in Ontario. The property has a 4 acre field that we don't mow to let wildflowers grow and encourage insect/butterfly diversity. There are other beautiful spots on the property alongside the creek that we thought about putting up a yurt and renting it out as a mini country/nature getaway but yurts seem to require a lot of maintenance, especially in the winter with a lot of snow. Hoping to tap into the give mind for ideas on making some side cash from this property. Thank you!

The head of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee faced calls to resign after igniting an uproar by saying women talk too much in meetings.

The hashtags "Mori’s gaffe," "Mori resign" and "embarrassment to Japan" all trended on Twitter in Japan afterwards. The controversy is the latest headache for the organizers of the 2020 games, which were delayed to 2021 amid the pandemic. Mori says he won’t step down. Link in bio for more.
