> The Bruce Trail Conservancy informed us that GREN  made a donation to the Daphne Nicholls Memorial fund. We request that you share our sincere thanks with all members of GREN  for your gift in Daph's memory. We hope donations to the memorial fund  will guarantee that a fine tract of land will be preserved in perpetuity.

> Six  weeks ago Jennie and I went to the north end of the Beaver Valley to check out a property that the Bruce Trail wants to acquire in order to knit together two sections of beautiful woodland trail.
> 
> 
> The property is about 29 acres in size and one part consists of  a 75 to 150 year old maple forest, as shown above . The other  part is  a newer forest with a mixed tract of poplar, ash, cherry, white pine, cedar and spruce. The second  picture shows the younger forest. Jennie's height gives you an idea of the size of the new growth in this part of the property.
> 
> 
> In addition to the forest part of the property, there is a small meadow with a good variety of native wild flowers. At present the Bruce trail has been routed along the eastern edge of the property but the trail planning group intends to re-route the trail through the property after acquisition.
> 
> 
> We were pleased with the property and feel Daph would have been thrilled with the wonderful variety of trees and flowers that is on this property. Accordingly, we are arranging for this property to be added to the Bruce Trail Conservancy in memory of Daphne, using donations from family and friends. Her love of nature and the beautiful way she expressed that love in her art would have made this property a place of great comfort to Daph. We hope it will give inspiration and relaxation to many generations of hikers.
> 
> We thank you for your generosity in helping to make this memorial possible and hope that you will be able to visit this section of the Bruce Trail once acquisition arrangements have been completed.
