Huron-Perth Woodlot Association tours Walton for annual meeting

The Huron-Perth Woodlot Association marked its 30th anniversary last week with its annual general meeting at the Brussels Four Winds Barn and a special tour of several Walton-area locations. The group stopped by Nostalgic Wood, as well as the McGavin sugar bush, which is more commonly known as the home base for Freedom Syrup.
