It is a busy time in Paradise. Time to pick apples, and to harvest tomatoes and vegetables from the garden. And, protest about the possibility of aerial spraying at Roxbury on Paradise Lake and at Eel Weir Lake. There are two parcels of land at Roxbury and one parcel at Eel Weir Lake (see map HERE).
The Eel Weir Lake and Mud Lake are part of the water supply catchment for the Village of Lawrencetown.
Heather and I made a reconnaissance of the Eel Weir Lake parcel. We checked out the access roads, off the Inglisville Road. Finally, deciding that the best access to the protest camp would be from the Rifle Range Road.
On our travels, we found the remains of the tree planters bus. Hidden away in the woods, after the last cycle of harvesting and planting.
If you want to obtain a good visual picture of the forest cover, and landscape, key in West Inglisville into Google Earth.
When we were at the Burlington rally, one of the team mentioned the title of a folk song, ‘No cell phones in Paradise’. I would add a sign ‘No spraying in Paradise‘. Note the frog in the above poster.
If you spend time up in the woods on South Mountain, you will notice the beautiful night sky. On the ground, you will see the amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders), the bees on the goldenrod, the birds and other critters. Plus the rich mix of Acadian forest species.
Please check the news release for further information , and support ‘No spraying in Paradise’.
