Another day, another volunteer challenge hauling materials and tools 2 km into the Mystery Falls trail to refurbish the multi-platform crossing. Thanks to Terry and Ross and some creativity, the platforms are much more stable and solid now.

Terry, Mike, Christine, and Ross took their volunteer efforts to the next level today. They carried all the lumber and tools more than a kilometre along the Mystery Falls loop trail to build a new 12‑foot boardwalk. Their work will make it far easier for hikers to cross a muddy, root‑filled section of the path. The community truly appreciates their dedication and hard work.

Many thanks to our hardworking volunteers -- Loris, Greg, Sandra, Lee T, Todd, Terry, Ed, Mike, Christine, Jill, Trista, Mary Lou and Ross -- who slogged in the muck on Saturday to replace boardwalks in Ipperwash Dunes & Swales! Our workers removed damaged support logs and deck planks, installed new support logs and widened the walking surface to three planks which will improve accessibility for trail users. It also looks amazing!

Ipperwash Boardwalk Rebuild
LSNT members along with volunteers from NOVA Chemicals installed 17 StoryWalk® stands at Lambton Centre today.
A StoryWalk® was developed to promote literacy and physical activity. This innovative, educational activity that displays pages from a children's book on posts or panels along an outdoor path or trail, encourages families and children to walk, read, and engage with literature in nature.
Health & Wellness Bazaar
Thanks to everyone who participated in LSNT's Health & Wellness Bazaar this past Saturday -- practitioners, vendors, community groups and patrons! It was a great opportunity for visitors to learn about wellness services in the community, and to try out products and therapies.
Special thanks to Khaos Artisan Kitchen who always support our events with delicious lunch and bakery offerings.
Fence Rebuild
In 2021, LSNT Volunteers fixed a large portion of the dilapidated split rail fence along Hwy 21 beside the Ausable River Cut Conservation Area. The final section of this fence line was opened up last year; exposing more areas in need of repair as if they were swallowed up by nature!
LSNT Volunteers showed up again to cut vegetation along

LSNT Volunteers showed up again to cut vegetation along the fence line, clear branches and garbage from the ditch, install t-bars to support the posts, and rebuild the fence.
Thank you to our volunteers (Jonathan, Sam, Bryan, Sandra, Mike, Christine, Lee T, Ed and Ross) for giving freely of their Saturday morning to get this job done!

We are now pleased to announce the installation of a plaque to commemorate this piece of local history. We would like to thank Lee Main for fabricating the pedestal.
Not only did we have a record number of visitors, but we also collected lots of food for the Pedlar Remax Team and Greenbucks Christmas Store Food Drive. Thank you!
A shoutout to Khaos Artisan Kitchen for providing, as usual, a delicious lunch and plenty of sweet treats.
