“Dear ( new & established ) Residents

For the past 5 years we ( Richard Royds & Nan Dickson ) have had the privilege of volunteering our time and effort to observe and maintain the health of the wetlands /pond area.   During this period we have been assisted by the involvement,  at  our request,  of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority  and we thank them for their advice, guidance and support.  The NPCA has recognized our dedication and hands-on work to the conservation of this area with Awards for the past two years.

With the renewal of the Pond and restoration of the surrounding area it is time for both of us to end our volunteer efforts and involvement  with the Wetlands Area.   The Shared Facilities Committee  have responsibility of the entire area including the walking trails.  This Committee will begin with an area that has been renewed and restored.

It is our hope that those who volunteer for the community with this ongoing and worthwhile project will have as much pleasure and learning experience as we have had over these 5 years !

Richard Royds & Nan Dickson”.
