2013:  Hilltown

Here are some pictures of a couple of the mink farms in the Hilltown area.
Notice the seagulls circling above the sheds looking for excess food that is normally thrown in the compost/manure. Unfortunately we could not take a picture of the absolute "stench".
The older farm with old A frame sheds also has a display of old equipment rusting in the fields.

 The "green lake" is  Nowlans Lake, located on Hwy 340  alongside the old Havelock Elementary School.   For those who have never driven the Hilltown 'loop', why not take a casual ride and see firsthand   how our rivers got polluted.
