OLTA Gathering
Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Ontario Land Trust Alliance Annual Gathering, located at Geneva Park on Lake Couchiching, near Orillia, ON. This gathering is an annual training, skills development and networking conference bringing together land trust and other conservation professionals from across Ontario and Canada.
Desbarats is Overrun With Bears
Good thing bears are (usually) more scared of us than we are of them. Yesterday afternoon, I took a walk from the office up to Boyer Drive to do a little field work. Half way up the hill, I found the first of many bear scat piles along the road. The scat was big, red and full of apples, which made sense because there are a lot of apple trees up that way.
Summer Wrap-up
Thanks for everyone who came out this summer to the events that The Kensington Conservancy had! I had a great summer going on hikes, monitoring properties and meeting all of the wonderful people in the area. I apologize in advance if next summer I forget your name (or don't even recognize you at all) since it felt like I was shaking hands with 30 new people every day!
