Description
This is a favourite tree just outside the Kortright Centre for Conservation Administration building and to the north during the fall of 1990. Kortright is owned and operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). I used to be quite involved with the TRCA.
A black squirrel was enjoying the free meal taken from the nearby bird feeder. I was walking with my son who was 9 years old at the time. We had a family pass to the Kortright Centre and tried to visit at least once or twice a month. The staff got to know us. We would take the neighbour's kids as well. It was a safe place to enjoy nature and a stroll through the woods.
The Kortright Centre opened in 1982 to become an example of excellence in the field of sustainable technology. We have implemented the best of the energy innovations at Singleton and I hope to do more.
Those words were written in 1991 while I was still painting in the Under the Basement Stairs Studio on Western Avenue in Schomberg and commuting to the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre in Downsview.
