You’ve been waiting, perhaps impatiently, for spring to return to Southern Ontario. The first signs in Thickson’s Woods ─ tiny pussywillows venturing forth on dark twigs, a woodcock erupting from beside a damp nannyberry grove, a crow shouting enthusiastically from high in a white pine ─ seemed so long in coming. But now that this season of new birth is truly underway, we’d like to invite you to help celebrate, as you’ve so often done in the past, by helping prepare the reserve for visitors, or just revelling in the sights, sounds and smells of a new beginning.

Trails need clearing, blown-in trash needs collecting, aggressive plants need trimming, spring migrants need welcoming, and hungry chickadees need feeding. If you feel up to any of these tasks, come join us on Saturday, April 18th, at 9:00 a.m.

Garbage volunteers should stop off at the meadow gate on the east side of Thickson Road north of the Waterfront Trail.

Everyone else walk east on the Waterfront Trail. Turn right on the trail that leads south through the woods past where it diverts around the fallen trunks of two large trees uprooted in a recent windstorm. After the path ends in a grassy patch, walk up the first driveway on your right to find tools and folks to guide you if you wish to exercise your muscles on other Earth Day chores. Please don't drive onto Crystal Beach Rd as it's a private community.

Or if you came to search Lake Ontario for courting common goldeneyes or red-necked grebes, continue south a few steps to the shore. And if you stop along the way to point out a fox sparrow or a red fox to a friend, don’t be surprised when a chickadee lands on your finger in anticipation of a handout.

What to Bring: Sturdy clippers for removing raspberry canes or small saplings crowding trails, sturdy gloves to protect tender hands not yet calloused by garden tasks, sunflower seeds to feed hungry chickadees, and a love of wild things to make you feel alive.

(If April showers are extra heavy on Saturday, we’ll try again at the same time on Sunday April 19th.)
