Spring Run-Off

This particular area of Lake Country has a very deep layer of compacted glacial till clay.  The clay layer starts about 7 ft down from the top of the soil ans appears to maintain that depth throughout the property.  The clay layer eliminates the potential for any water to seep any further than 7 ft down into the soil thus anything that is not taken up by the trees oozes down to the bottom towards the lake.  The issue is widespread and is commonly acknowledged by the neighbouring properties.  Horizon Geotechnical has made recommendations and we are currently researching costs and best practices.

Wildfire

Clearing of the wildfire hazards on the upper slope was completed mid March.
