Huron Woods is prized and admired for its Carolinian forest. Fallen leaves play a beneficial and critical role by enriching the soil with nutrients and holding much-needed moisture. A leaf layer provides overwintering protection for butterflies, moths and other insects. These insects provide an essential winter and early spring food source for birds and small mammals.
The FACTS: Did you know that, globally, insects are in steep decline? Did you know that bird populations are also failing? It takes 6,000–9,000 caterpillars to raise one brood of chickadees. No Bugs = No Birds. Did you know that Huron Woods sits in a location that is internationally recognized as important for birds?
When we remove leaves, we break a healthy natural cycle of life that has its own checks and balances.
The MESSAGE: Leaving fallen leaves on your property is important because leaves act as a vital natural resource for wildlife, soil health and the environment.
👻 BOO! What a spooktacular night at our Monster Mash! The food was absolutely outstanding, the costumes were amazing, and there were plenty of laughs and good times. It was such an enjoyable evening! A huge thank-you to everyone who helped to make the night such a wonderful success. You are all appreciated!
This smiling group has been golfing together for a couple of years. We’ve grown to 11 players, though only 8 of us made it into this selfie. That’s kind of how we roll! We play when we can. All but one of us live in Huron Woods.
This year we played every Tuesday from mid-April to mid-October, with 4 to 8 players each week. Sheila emails on Wednesday to see who’s in, then lets everyone know who’s playing. We tee off around 9:30 at Sandhills and play 9 holes.
