It couldn’t have come at a better time. On December 11, 2025, Jan DeWit, Treasurer of the Mount Elgin Firefighters Association, presented Ingersoll District Nature Club (IDNC) Treasurer Jim Eager with a generous $1,000 donation to go towards bird seed for the Lawson Nature Reserve. IDNC stewards the property on behalf of Ontario Nature and has been filling bird feeders every winter for the past two decades. If ever there was a year the club needed help with seed, it was this winter! The donation was in the form of gift cards from Ingersoll Country Mills.

Thanks to the firefighters for all they do to keep their community safe and for supporting our feathered friends!
