church basement this Friday, May
25. Start time is 7 p.m. and everyone
is welcome.

However, don’t stay home. The

The UCW is seeking a willing and
energetic family to get the church

for another season of camping.
If your family could fulfill this
need call Brenda Radford for

concert.
The kindergarten classes have
been doing a session on Under The
Sea. In two sets the children offered
songs and recitations about what
they had learned. All of them wore
sparkly and colourful cutouts of sea
creatures – fish, turtles, seahorses,
lobsters, starfish, etc.
The primary choir, Grades 1, 2 and
3 showed their musical talent with
two numbers, My Beary Best Friend
and The Laughing Song.
Since Christmas, Grades 4 and 5
have been studying drumming. They
made and decorated, quite
colourfully, their own drums. The
rhythms they demonstrated were a
mix of two sounds or types of
drumming with their hands. The
difference in sound comes from
drumming at the edges or in the
middle. One number they played
included some percussion
instruments. It was a very interesting
demonstration.
It’s springtime at the HullettProvincial Wildlife Area. A time
where a sea of green takes over from
a blanket of white as the growing
season begins anew. Trees are
leafing out and the forest floor is
abounding in wildflowers of all
colours, shapes and sizes. The
marsh teems with ducks of all kinds,
and the muskrat, beaver and deer
populations carry on their daily
routines as warmer temperatures
move into the area.
Famous naturalist, Roger Tory
Peterson, once said birds are ‘a
vivid expression of life’.
Springtime is a great time for bird
watching, as every southerly breeze
seems to push more and more birds
into our area. It starts with robins,
migrations of tundra swans and
ducks in March, the wave continues
in April, and especially May, as
songbirds and marsh birds return to
Hullett in force.
Every day brings something new
and exciting to the woods and
waters of the Hullett Provincial
Wildlife Area. You hardly want to
miss a day out in the field – it’s an
exciting time of year!
While out enjoying the bird life,
don’t forget to look down. A
spectacular array of wildflowers and
ferns blanket the forest floor inspring. All are unique and
interesting to study, so take some
time and have a good look at our
plant species. You’ll be amazed at
the sheer amount of diversity to be
found in just a small area, and
what’s more, plants won’t fly away
on you!
Hullett lies in a transition zone
between the Beech-Maple
(Carolinian) Forest to the south and
the Northern Hardwood Forest to
the north. In this, we play host to
species from both forest types,
creating an abundance of plant and
tree species in the area. Sugar
maple is the dominant tree of
Hullett’s forests.
Other trees of note include: white
ash,American Basswood,American
beech, black cherry and eastern
hemlock. Trees and shrubs of the
woodland’s understory include
Dogwoods (alternate-leaved and
eastern flowering dogwood) and
nannyberry (also known as sweet
viburnum).
It’s a great time to get out and get
some exercise and fresh air,
experiencing the warm days and
mild evenings of springtime. Come
and enjoy this beautiful time of year
with us!

The information under the picture
on page 11 in the May 10 issue of
The Citizen was incorrect.
It should have said that the Auburn
Women’s Institute was selling tickets
on the quilt with the proceeds going
towards cancer research.
We apologize for the error and
any confusion it may have
caused.
