New Home for Painted Rocks

While the leave-no-trace policy on nature reserves has necessitated the removal of painted rocks from the trail through Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve, the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy has contacted the Thetis Island Parents Association and the Thetis Island Community Association and have agreement to place the painted rocks in the wooded area between the school and the community hall. 

This little forest near the slide and swings is often used as a play area so the colourful rocks will be appreciated.

Did you know, you can make Hollandaise Sauce with 5 basic ingredients that you probably already have?

4 Egg Yolks
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon juice (or Vinegar)
½ cup Butter
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Cayenne

Vigorously whisk the egg yolk and lemon, place mixture over a double boiler, only to warm (we don’t want to scramble those yolks!) drizzle in melted butter and continue to whisk until incorporated, add the seasoning at the end and Voila! Your very own home-made Hollandaise Sauce!

Happy Cooking!

Painted Rocks on the Fairyslipper Forest Trail

People have been hiding beautiful painted rocks on the Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve Trail. As lovely as they are, they don't belong in the nature reserve which has a leave-no-trace policy.

While enjoying the trail and the plants and animals in the nature reserve, please tread lightly and leave only footprints.

We've gathered the painted rocks from the trail and they will be in a bucket near the trail kiosk in the parking area on North Cove Rd until the end of April for the creators to collect and take home.

Thank you for your understanding.
