Once we had the livestock out of the way the excavator came in and basically filled in the banks as you can see from the photos. Jim and his helpers then had the happy chore of cabling all of that mess together which they finally finished this week. Many thanks…

Nobody wants to be slaving over a hot computer in the summertime, me included, so yes, I have been slacking off but now it is time to catch up. It has also been very busy as we set up our traps to make sure we removed all the fish and…

I said I would provide an update on the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy (CVCS) meeting shortly (a relative term, I would like to remind you) but there was a great deal of complexity to the meeting and to the work the group is doing which has taken a while for…
