The
wildlife is coming back
July 2003
A program
has been put in place to bring the turkeys back in higher numbers to
the campsite. This is taking place during the summer and will bring
more wildlife in to the general area. The rabbit habitat program seems
to be working as all reports say the numbers are up. Part of the Ducks
Unlimited program is to identify which animals are on the site and how
we can encourage thier populations. More on how we plan to do this in
further information on this website.
The
road is being reworked
July
2003
As
the road to the back is getting more use, it has been decided over the
summer to rework the soft sections with gravel and fill. There will
be no camping at camp sites this is just for use to get equipment for
projects and camping to the back of the property.
We
are getting all cleaned up
June
2003
Cabins
were cleaned from top to bottom,fences repaired,signage erected. Needless
to say special attention was given to the kybos with the addition of
new chemicals and the new practise of keeping the seats down when not
in use and do you know it works.It has been noted that some of the youth
have commented that "hey the kybos don't smell that bad after all".
Brushes have been added along with cleaning kits at each kybo to bring
up the standard of hygiene.Conversations are underway to resolve the
hand washing situation any input is welcome.
Check
out the replanting we have going on
June 2003
The
replanting progam has started along the road to the Beaver Pond with
White Pines to the tune of 50 saplings being added to the Pine that
were put in last year thanks to a donation from the Mininistry of Culture
and Citizenship.
More
bushes have been added along the Berry Trail which follows the route
of the old Red Trail. This will be an ongoing project till the Berry
Bushes get established. It promises to be a great feature for the youth
that use the camp in the fall. A selection of berries have been planted
and anybody wishing to add to the crop by planting contact us.
