Our Gratitude To The Following ... |
Otis Sawyer 1899-1996 |
Our benefactor. Through his wisdom, his vision, his generosity and
his understanding of the true value of our wooded environment -- his legacy is passed on. The fortunate
amongst us remember his enthusiasm with fondness -- recalling the day that he proudly introduced us
personally to each and every tree in his charge. It is the responsibility of everyone to support his
initiative and protect this planet's gift for future generations. |

The Sawyer Family |
Their ongoing support, guidance, interpretations and efforts have nurtured this thriving project -- critical
in the early years. |
Woodlot Association Members |
Currently numbering about 80 individuals, this dedicated group oversees and maintains the woodlot on a
voluntary basis. Responsibilities include trails, signage, woodlot health, comforts, administration, public
relations, education, and more. They make it happen. |
Ken Maronets & The Ontario Ministry Of Natural Resources |
Our link to Stewardship philosophies and related organizations across the country. Ken's leadership and
enthusiastic support have been invaluable. |
