A Day Late - Hope for Wildlife Society

Sorry folks, I was toooooo tired last night to muster up the energy to post anything! 

We, a group of HRM staff, spent a special day at the Hope for Wildlife Society sanctuary in Chezzetcook. The Hope for Wildlife mandate is to connect people to wildlife in a positive way - through knowledge and understanding - the Hope for Wildlife Society believes that education through rehabilitation is the key to a sustainable future.

They have a wonderful site where they house every type of wildlife Nova Scotia has to offer - I got to get up close and personal with 2 Bald Eagles, a Grey Squirrel, several racoons, a Raven and a Crow, a Corn Snake, an Owl (the type I can't remember), a peacock and peahen, and much, much more!!

The payment for this awesome experience was manual labour! They needed some bodies to do some landscaping around the site. So we weeded, mulched, resurrected a beautiful two-tiered pond and then landscaped around it with plants and beach rock. We also replanted some trees, and hauled some brush.

It was wonderful, we all worked really hard (I came home COVERED in mud :) and had a great time. I was still sore from working out on Wednesday, and added this full day of fresh air and exercise made me too tired to talk last night! Sometimes its great to be that tired, I snuggled and hung out with the kids and I was too tired to take offence to anything they might have done! LOL!

Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but I might be able to post some later from others!

Later!
