Canada geese enjoying a beautiful Fall day at Scotsdale, as they begin to gather for their migration South. Mother Nature is also preparing her canvass............over the next few weeks the trees should be ablaze with spectacular Fall colours!
A special thank you to all of our supporters / donators this year too! A new vacuum, air purifier, and some other household items will be welcome additions to the Bennett House!

Just released on Amazon Prime, Neagley, a Jack Reacher spin off. Many of our regular visitors will remember last year, when film crews moved on site.........replicated cottages, and a barn, along with a pavillion were the main builds! All gone now, but if you're a Reacher fan, watch this series and see what things looked like then!

Bruce Trail Update. There will be a tree service on site Wednesday, removing the snagged white pine hanging over the Bennett Trail 200 yards or so down from the main entrance off the main driveway. Access to the trail from there will be closed for most of the day, so please access the trail from the upper field parking area at the South corner. Also, please use extra caution (slow) on the driveway!

Although many of our migratory friends have been leaving the farm, we did have our front benches return ......... now proudly placed back at the front door patio! Beautifully restored, and painted.........thank you Fraser! During September there will be an arborist on site attending to the "hanging" tree on the Bennett Trail. Field cuts are also on the agenda once all birds, butterflies et al have made their exits. Some other projects are also being planned by OHT, but no Hollywood stuff on the calendar thus far! Lots of wildlife roaming around, so please keep your pets close by, and preferably on leash!

Over the next few weeks hikers will notice some tree work happening along the north entrance to the Bennett Trail. Age, and heavy winds contribute to their eventual return to earth! This ancient white pine is currently hung up, so in the best interests, and safety of our hikers it will be brought down shortly. As a side note, while hiking along any of the forest trails on windy days it is always important to be paying close attention to the tree canopy as you wander through! Thank you Tim, a Trail Director from the BTC for the photos, and "heads up"!

IMPORTANT UPDATES
Tomorrow there will lots of activity at Scotsdale Farm while a large group of volunteers from the Bruce Trail Conservancy reconfigure the trails running through the property.
Next week a volunteer group from the Ontario Heritage Trust will be on site, finishing up the fencing along the main driveway.
There are also some plans to cut some of the fields over the next few weeks.
Very important to keep your pets on leash at these busy times. Please remember, along with the abundance of wildlife.......birds, monarch butterflies, et al...........lots of ticks too!
Happy hiking!

Over the next week or so, visitors will notice lots of activity along the main driveway as the original cedar fences are repaired, or replaced! Chris, and Kevin will be leading a crew from Ontario Heritage Trust to do the fence work. Evan from Totty Bro Farms will be assisting them by drilling out the post holes.
The Bennett Driveway has always been a favourite spot! The repaired fences will enhance this beauty as we drive in, and out!
A big thank you to the project managers!
While the work is underway, please drive with extra special caution as you pass through!
