Again this year we have been very busy with the work of Friends of Redtail Society. The After much difficulty the Society finally achieved a purchase and sale agreement with the land owner, Wagner Forest NS and it is now in full fundraising mode. The Society has until December of this year to raise the purchase price of 250,000, tax included. We need all the help we can get if we going to preserve the natural beauty and integrity of this area. For information on the Society and progress on the Sheltering Forests campaign, go to www.friendsofredtail.ca.
Billy spent three and a half months of last year in the remote northern community of Kugluktuk, Nunavut. It was a rewarding experience for him but of course he missed summer camp and the wonderful, crazy experience of sharing nature with youth. For Nova, it was the quietest summer ever. In her opinion, the land was lonely for the sound of youth’s laughter. Billy will soon be returning to the North for a second time but will be home to offer camps in August. He and Nova are committed to offering Redtail programs throughout the year. Billy and Nova would like to introduce you to another new companion animal. Ramie is an energetic and very endearing young dog of mixed breed. Like Jake he is a rescue animal. The two are getting along very well although Jake has asserted that he is the boss. When you come to Redtail do not be fooled by Ramie’s energetic approach. He is a gentle and loving as can be. You may just see a little bit of our old dog Peter in him.
