The Club is selling rain barrels to help raise money for the North Hastings Fish Hatchery and the Think Turtle Conservation Initiative. Steve Scally, a member of the club, says they have partnered with a company that manufactures the barrels and donates them to charitable causes. Rain barrels will be sold for $55 a unit, which comes with leaf and mosquito filters, a spigot and an overflow hose. Extra pipes, stands and composters are also available for purchase.

Turtle nesting season inches closer | Bancroft this Week

May 4, 2021 To the Editor, False starts to spring are certainly not uncommon but this year really has been a tease. We were present when a clutch of last falls painted turtle hatchlings that overwintered emerged from their nest on April 9. This is the earliest arrival we have witnessed! A couple weeks after that the cooler temperatures moved back in and since then there has been the odd turtle sighting reported but mostly turtle activity on the roads has been sparse. Weather broadcasters and meteorologists are predicting that May will be a cool and rainy month. Typically turtles start nesting mid May and this goes through to mid July. The month of June is the peak period for nesting.
