Hopefully this keeps the rabbits out of this newly planted area for awhile. May as well be decorative about it! This is made out of branches and virginia creeper and virgins bower vines. Its not just decorative, and utilitarian it also feeds the birds and soil and provides shelter and nesting for overwintering insects and their eggs and cocoons.

Good morning Guelph council and mayoral candidates

While we're talking about inefficiencies and budget items that can be trimmed to save money (no pun intended), do we really have to mow, blow and remove all the leaves from parks? Especially when not on a sports field?
The tractors were out this morning. Soccer season is over, the grass is dormant. The leaves are just minding their own business being shelter for the eggs and cocoons of next springs pollinators and we feel the need to chop them up and haul them away? The kids were just watching the birds scratch around to find insects in those leaves yesterday.

Maybe we could revisit these old antiquated policies in a time where we understand the need for sustainability and to prevent further ecosystem destruction.

Pic of our freshly planted saplings for attention.
