Message from the Board
This is a reminder that Easement Roads within our Association are on private property. The Easement Roads' sole purpose is to allow access to properties not otherwise accessible. If you do not live on a particular Easement Road, you do not have the right to drive, ride ATVs, ride snowmobiles or walk on this road. Per Association Covenants, Easement Roads include: Coyote Trail Road, Cooper Creek Road, Fir Lane, and Lodge Pole Rd (above Yarrow Road cut-off). To clarify, this has always been the legal description of these roads. Many of us were misled by the developers and their representative when we were told that all owners had the right to use the Easement Roads. Please be respectful of other owners' property rights.
TIDBITS
Ever look up to see a leafy nest, and think it was a bird’s nest.
If you pause and observe the trees of your local neighborhood, you might notice large bundles of leaves perched high above. They’re easier to find during the Winter - with the leaves gone.
While one might assume these to be bird nests, there's more to them than meets the eye. Many of these nests did start as a home for birds - many of these large nests with old dried-out leaves and twigs are home to - squirrels.
Dreys
These leafy homes, known as dreys, serve as cozy year-round homes for squirrels. Concealed by dried fall foliage during warmer months - dreys offer protection and sanctuary for squirrels. They have been repurposed and expanded upon to rest, stay warm, and nurture their young.
So, next time you find yourself strolling amidst the natural splendor of Washington, take a moment to look up and you might just spot a drey, a hidden gem amidst the tree canopy, offering a glimpse into the fascinating lives of the year-round tree dwellers.
