Eco Preservation Through Boat Washing

For years, there has been a smallish sign at the gates on Anne Est and Mr. Joe Roads exhorting us to various commendable behaviours that will help preserve our native environment by preventing the introduction of non-native, invasive species. Probably you, like I, have ceased to see it. I recommend a review next time your unlocking your way in or out.

Below is a link to a brief article (thank you, Stephanie) explaining the importance of boat inspection and washing in controlling invasive species. This, of course, applies only if you are bringing a boat in "from away", as they say in Newfoundland, or if you have anyone bringing a boat for a visit.

In other news: the mosquitoes, after a ferocious start, seem to have settled down to a dull whine, principally mornings and evenings. But, never fear! The deer flies are here! Fortunately, so are the dragonflies and I, for one, wish them happy hunting.
