Haliburton Biodiversity Project

Ssssssuccess! 🐍Thanks to such an amazing crew of 10 volunteers, we were able to steward the meadow to mimic fire 🔥 by cutting and raking the grass thatch in portions of the area - this helps reduce the thick layer of grass that prevents seeds from germinating and suppresses some less competitive plants like shootingstar and Camas. We also picked the heritage spartan apples to make fresh juice for future volunteers to enjoy.🍎🍎 Thanks to Helen and Karun for processing the apples and taking them for pressing. We also met this juvenile garter snake!
Do you know what species of gartner snake 🐍 this might be?

Huge thanks to Purnima for a delicious curry lunch!

Join us next month Saturday November 8 for the following work party for some community, restoration, and food!
🐸🐍🍎🔥🌿

A HUGE thanks to everyone who came out to the work party this past weekend - we got soo much blackberry out of the wetland area, thistles removed in the meadow, plus took home some delicious heritage Spartan apples 🍎
And shared a delicious lunch, noodles made by Purnima and crumble by Jemma.

We are going to host a mini power hour work party on Saturday Sept 20 10-12 if you want to join!

Thanks to Haliburton Community Organic Farm
and to Cordova Bay United Church for sharing the invite
