A group of hardworking volunteers and two GSC staff met on June 28th to remove 80 old pieces of boardwalk and replace them with new, sturdy boards.  To see more photos from the event go to Project Photos

 

 

 

 

 

Friends of Hibou aim to keep the Interpretive Trail open and as safe as possible.  Given that it is offering us a place to walk through an area of Wetland, it is understandable that the water is going to have an impact on the trail. Walkers must be prepared for wet spots.  The boardwalk and graveled areas help keep the trail as walkable as possible.

Due to insufficient registration, the Forest Bathing walk scheduled for Monday September 20 is being postponed till Friday October 8.

Same time and place. In order to run the activity there must be sufficient numbers registered by noon October 6.

Apologies. The entire 4-page newsletter is available by scrolling down when you open it on your computer. So far, you only get the first page when opening it on a tablet.

I will continue to work on this over the weekend.

We are looking for more volunteers to help us do trail clipping and cleaning litter along the length of shoreline

WHEN:  Monday morning July 19, 9am till noon

WHERE TO MEET: at the south parking lot by the pump house.

WHAT TO BRING: water, insect repellent, comfortable work gloves, clippers for clipping the trail, small garbage bag is you have some for litter pick up.

THE PLAN: We will divide into smaller groups. we hope for six people to do clipping. Two groups on the interpretive trail and one  group on The Point Trail across the road.

We will also have three groups to do litter pick up along the shore. 

With the lower water, there is more shoreline to pick up things that the waves have deposited (not wood). We will also ask you to dismantle any firepits you see as these are not allowed at Hibou.

It is helpful if you let us know that you are able to join us.
