And also having your camera at the ready! Such was the delightful experience of Sean Morton and Sonya Richmond, the Land Steward team for our Dopko property ,near the Grimsby boundary of Iroquoia. Such an event is one of the bonuses of volunteering to be a Land Steward for the BTC. As most members know by now, the BTC is continuing work to guarantee a conservation corridor all the way along the Niagara Escarpment, containing a public footpath. Part of that effort involves purchasing and managing key properties. The BTC currently manages over 200 such properties, 17 of which are in Iroquoia, and we have Stewards/Steward Teams covering all of these properties. The Stewardship process is as follows. Each property has been studied in detail by BTC Staff, who prepare a Stewardship Plan, which is the basis of the Land Steward’s regular duties. Stewards are required to visit their properties and report to their Land Steward Director at least twice per year. These site visits involve inspection of the overall property (not just the Trail area itself) and especially property boundaries, for it is there that issues often occur. Unlike a city property, the boundaries of these properties are not always obvious, so appropriately determining and marking boundaries, and posting signage, are the first duties of the Land Steward. After that, the Steward can begin to work on Recommendations and other aspects of the Stewardship Plan, including observations on the wildlife and vegetation of the Property. And one may be skilled enough to capture a memorable image like our saw whet owl above! written by Gary Beaudoin, Land Steward Director, Iroquoia !3 Comfortable Hiking Holidays NOTICE TO MEMBERS (416) 445-2628 Proposed slate of our Board of [email protected] www.letshike.com Directors for election 52nd ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING KENYA Saturday April 18th , 2015 July 5 to 17, 2015 Have you always wanted to go on a safari but can't see yourself Cathie Mills* sitting in a jeep all day long, day after day? For active travellers like ourselves, a walking safari is the perfect way to get to Doug Stansbury* know Kenya. It really gets you up close & personal with the animals - and there are A LOT of animals to be seen. In Anne Armstrong* addition, there is the natural beauty of the land and the proud heritage of its tribes; we have included many extras as part of Michael McDonald* our program so that you will have a complete Kenyan experience. Vern Erickson* As animal lovers, walking amongst giraffes and zebras is a big draw but we felt that the trip should encompass the culture as Gary Beaudoin* well. So we added a lecture by the tour owner (who is from the Kikuyu tribe), a visit to a weaving cooperative, visits to Masai Paul Toffoletti* homesteads, a visit to a local elementary school, a visit to a local market (not a tourist market but a regular market where John Farquharson* locals would shop), and a tour of a tea plantation. We are very proud of the program we have put together and Michael Kralt this trip has easily become one of our favourites of the year. Take a walk on the wild side with us this July; it’s one of Karina Gould the coolest months of the year in Kenya!
