Celebrating 50 years being open to the public
An opportunity to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of when Hibou became a conservation area open to the public.
Repairing the Boardwalk
A
group of hardworking volunteers and two GSC staff met on June 28th to remove 80 old pieces of boardwalk and replace them with new, sturdy boards. To see more photos from the event go to Project Photos
Friends of Hibou aim to keep the Interpretive Trail open and as safe as possible. Given that it is offering us a place to walk through an area of Wetland, it is understandable that the water is going to have an impact on the trail. Walkers must be prepared for wet spots. The boardwalk and graveled areas help keep the trail as walkable as possible.

This Newsletter is shorter but just as important. We look forward to any responses. We hope you enjoy the holiday season, respecting all the many different ways that people celebrate.
