"5 !WHO SAID TRAIL MAINTENANCE WAS JUST BUILDING TRAIL? - Ken Lawday - Trail Director Those of you who have hiked the northern area of the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail will be familiar with the 140-meter (460 ft) boardwalk through the swamp between Derry Road and Twiss Road. This boardwalk is the key element that allows the trail to use the beautiful Conservation Halton property known as the Smith Resource Area, and saves us having to put the trail onto over 1.5 km of busy road. The original boardwalk, built during winter 1998 and originally dedicated to past Club President Jim Ascroft, was constructed of lumber sawn from old hydro poles as a way of keeping costs down. Unfortunately now, 15 years later, this is given the !Club’s Trail Maintenance crew two problems: a) The lumber was cut ‘true’ size (i.e.

  • Noteworthy Bird Records Fall (September to November) 2020
    Hamilton Study Area Noteworthy Bird Records Fall (September to November) 2020 Scarlet Tanager at Malvern Rd, Burlington 16 September 2020 - photo Phil Waggett. Hello, This is the new format of the Noteworthy Bird Records for the Hamilton Naturalists's Club. After more than 70 years of bird records being published almost monthly in the Wood Duck, the journal of the HNC, this is the first time they have been published in a separate publication. Seventy years is a very long time and it is with heavy heart that I break with this tradition. It is not done without a lot of reflection. I would have preferred that the NBR continue in theWood Duck as before, but these records were taking up more and more space in that publication and perhaps limiting the inclusion of other articles. To try to reduce the size of the NBR, I had taken to making the type face smaller and smaller which was making it increasingly difficult to read (difficult enough already with the reams and reams of records). I had asked for comments from Club members about whether or not they wanted to see the NBR continue within the Wood Duck or in a separate format. I did not get many replies. However, of those few replies, all of them suggested removing the NBR from the Wood Duck. This is what I have done. I have made this decision while I am still a co-editor of the Wood Duck. Soon I will no longer be the editor and I cannot expect future editors to publish these voluminous reports.
