On April 27, 2024 the Conservation Club of Haldimand 4-H had their first meeting. The meeting was held at Ruthven Park. We started out with the 4-H pledge, and then we talked about pollinator gardens. We even got to plant a garden in front of the gate house. The next meeting was held on May 14. We met at a location on River Road. We did bird banding there. The people set up nets that the birds would get caught in. They would take the birds out of the nets and put a small metal band on them and it would have a special number on it so people would know where the birds went. It has been very fun and interesting being part of 4-H Conservation Club. Shown above are members Delilah Baxter, Amadea Butcher, Audrey Stam, David, Harley Atkinson, and Cassidy Thompson.
