A small update from Sharon to yesterday’s post:
After writing to you yesterday, I learned that the ABCA is willing to fund 50% of the materials cost for the pollinator gardens. A lovely surprise and much appreciated.
A huge thank you to Brian Lasenby, Bob and Deb Schimmel and Alex Callan for helping me plant the seeds.

On the Clubhouse Grounds there is a slip of land between the channel and the pond, to the right of the birdhouse, due to the efforts and leadership of HWCA member Sharon Callon, we have a Butterfly Garden.
I asked Sharon to share the story behind the project:
“I purchased the seeds and our Habitat Stewardship Group of Huron Woods supplied the labour. The Rotary Club of East London provided partial funding of the clubhouse pollinator plot, four on private lands in Huron Woods, another in central Grand Bend, and one in Southcott Pines. Donation of seed to the Lambton Shores Nature Trails will result in several kilometres of pollinator garden along the rail trail in Forest. Twenty-one different plant species in the clubhouse garden will support a wide variety of butterflies, moths and insects critical to a healthy ecosystem.”
Something to look forward to next butterfly season. Thank you Sharon for all you do for Huron Woods and the broader community!
