Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area, Friends of Hullett, Hullett Marsh

WELCOME TO THE HULLETT PROVINCIAL WILDLIFE AREA

Pheasants will be arriving at the Hullett Office on July 4th between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help fit the pheasants with blinders is more than welcome to help out. It will take roughly 3 to 4 hours to fit all the pheasants with blinders. After the work is done, we will be providing a lunch for all volunteers.

On Thursday June 25th, a dog was found on a private residence at the north end of the Marsh. It was a male with an orange collar. If you have lost this dog please contact the Friends of Hullett Office @ 519-482-7011.

The boardwalk to the Whistler Pool viewing stand will be closed the 29th & 30th of June. The Friends of Hullett will be removing the boardwalk and adding an earthen dyke to the viewing stand.

The 2009 AGM and Youth Day went great. Two new directors were elected onto the Board of Directors. On Behalf of the Friends of Hullett, I would like to welcome Dave Dale and Johnathon McDowell, both new to the Board of Directors, and congratulate Ed Allen on being re-elected onto the Board of Directors.

The Friends of Hullett would like to thank Dave Palmer for his volunteer time on the Board of Directors and with many of the programs that Dave took part in.

There will not be a guided hunt in the white tail swamp this year due to poor numbers harvested in 2008.

The handicapped hunting blind on Bridge Rd will be moved to the Whistler pool where stake 34 currently sits and stake 34 will be moved to the East side of the pond. The Whistler viewing stand has been demolished and will not be replaced. We will be sure to identify this in the 2009/2010 User Guide.
