At Hullett Wildlife Area, snowmobilers and skiers are out tak- ing advantage of the white stuff. The wildlife area is a popular spot for both activities. The park is open for exploring, though there is reduced access in the winter months due to winter road closures. Hullett keeps two of its 20 parking areas cleared during the winter for hikers and skiers. Parking access is available at 80602 Wildlife Line, and maps are available for visitors. While many think of Hullett as a provin- cial park, it is actually one of 31 designated wildlife areas in Ontario and one of the larg- est. As such, they cannot charge access fees. The 5420 acre wildlife area also includes 850 acres of prime agricultural land owned by Hullett, which, along with donors, help offset the additional costs of maintaining the habitat area as do funding grants, such as the Canada Summer Jobs program. Their website (hulletmarsh.com), high- light the goings-on in the wetland as well as points of interest, and membership information. Volunteers from the Friends of Hullett Marsh are vital to the wildlife area's mainte- nance, and manager Scott Austin noted many kids from the community also help out. They are always looking for donations of lumber and yellow rust paint. This year, Hullett has a resident eagle liv- ing on the property, and have marked a 400m zone around the nest. Austin explained habitat management is one of the main goals of Hullett. On the near horizon, Hullett has some Family Day activities in the works. A day of skiing and snowshoeing will be taking place Sunday, Feb. 16 from 1-3 p.m. at the Wildlife Line entrance, with a second event running at the same time Monday.
