Northern Sanctuary, Thank you again for the tour. It was a beautiful day despite the black fly population

I did stop on the way out and go for a short walk to get a "feel" of the area and to find out what would be the most important first step in achieving a harmony with the land. Much of the Laurentiens have been raped by developers and mining companies over the last hundred or so years and in many places I have been to the land has a negative feel. Although much of your terrain is pristine there are pockets of negativity that can be cured. The black fly problem would be eased as well. For our next gathering may I suggest a clean up of the land, particularly where it has been disturbed by human action. there are many trees and shrubs that have been cut down and left to rot, this is a significant issue. Imagine trying to exist in a area where there are corpses lying around. You would survive but how would you feel? With the group we had yesterday we could probably accomplish this over a weekend culminating in a massive bonfire once its all picked up.
I guarantee you will feel the land smile. and in return it will provide for your needs with clean water and fertile soil.
Any developments in the future should be done with the land's well being in mind. Cut only what needs to be cut. Either reuse the wood or burn it but nothing should be left to rot in the open air.

As I mentioned yesterday. I have experience in many areas and will happily help build this community. just say when

By the way, there is a large lake about 800m due east of your house. is that on your land as well?

Topographical map of the area is posted here
