🌿 A heartfelt thank you to Tina, Melissa, and Betty from Nature Fresh Farms! 🌿

Yesterday, these incredible volunteers rolled up their sleeves and spent the day helping care for The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary by tackling grounds and gardens clean-up. Their hard work and dedication help keep the Sanctuary looking its best for the thousands of visitors, students, and wildlife that call this special place home.

Volunteer partnerships like this truly make a difference. We are incredibly grateful to Nature Fresh Farms for their ongoing commitment to giving back to our community and supporting conservation.

As has become a wonderful tradition, Tina, Melissa, and Betty each had the opportunity to crimp their own custom Jack Miner goose band--a small keepsake to recognize their hard work and our valued partnership. We hope these bands serve as a lasting reminder of the positive impact they've made here at the Sanctuary.

Thank you once again, Tina, Melissa, Betty, and everyone at Nature Fresh Farms, for helping preserve Jack Miner's conservation legacy. We couldn't do it without community partners like you!

Today, we remember Carl Miner, Jack and Laona Miner's firstborn son, who passed away on this day, August 21 in 1904, at just 13 years of age.

Carl was an extraordinary young man—kind, deeply faithful, a gifted violinist, and an exceptional marksman who followed closely in his father's footsteps. As he lay on his deathbed, Carl comforted his grieving father and asked him to make one promise: to attend church more faithfully.

That promise would change Jack Miner's life.

Earlier that same year, Jack had established what is recognized as North America's first waterfowl sanctuary. Devastated by the loss of his son, Jack honoured Carl's final wish. His faith deepened, and it became inseparable from his life's work. The biblical principles that would later inspire his famous "Disciples of the Air" messages and his philosophy of conservation grew from this period of profound loss and renewed purpose.

It is difficult to see this as mere coincidence. Carl's final request helped shape the spiritual legacy for which Jack Miner would become known around the world.

Today, we remember Carl Miner—a remarkable young man whose life, though far too short, left an enduring mark on his father, the Sanctuary, and the conservation movement that continues more than a century later.

❤️ "Papa, don't cry."
