Yesterday was the first day of the two day pilot program offering a dry stone walling “experience” by the city of Kawartha Lakes. My students and I investigated some of the lesser seen walls on the Laidlaw and Mackenzie properties.
In the fall the we get a better view of the beautiful dry stone work, as there is less foliage covering the walls. This wall is at least 150 years old and runs for about a thousand feet towards the lake. There is a similar one on the other side of the lane. The trees have all grown up since the walls were built. They will eventually destroy the walls, but such is life. Life and living things eventually prevail.
