Sugarmakers at Hi Vue Farms secure sweet deal for wildlife

 

“It’s a comfort that my favorite spots are there every year, because there’s a timelessness to it. I’m literally walking in the footprints of my ancestors.” ~ Jessica

Rain Rain Go Away

Sooo much rain, thankfully we missed the horrible damage done to towns just south of us. It’s still been a hard summer to get anything done. The gardens are over grown with weeds or just not growing.

We’re trying to get projects done between the raindrops. Matt, Ian and I fixed a road crossing in the woods to create better access to the sugarwoods. Next will be replacing valves and or adding valves to main lines to make it easier to check for leaks next spring.

Richford Woodlots

Last Sunday I went to a gathering for the newly formed Richford Woodlots. Woodlots is a small piece of the bigger Cold Hollow to Canada program which is a piece of a bigger pie called the largest temperate forest in the world. It’s a pretty good pie to be a nibble in!
