Midgeley Cabin Work Bee July 9th at 7:30am

June 28, 2018 1 min read

The Ministry of Forests has delivered a real toilet (with roof and sides etc.) destined for the Midgeley Cabin to 16 km on the Topaz Forest Service Road. On July 9 at 10:00 a.m., a helicopter will lift it to the Midgeley cabin site.

We are in need of volunteers to meet on July 9th at 7:30 a.m. at the Ramada parking lot (junction of highways 3 & 3A) so we can carpool up to the site. Members will have time to hike into the cabin to detach the load from the helicopter slings. We will then set up the culvert and fill in earth around the culvert (hole already dug last fall), and assemble the toilet. All screws and fasteners have been provided.

Please email me or call to advise if you can come. 4x4 access. I can accommodate 3 passengers.
My email: gwentelling@gmail.com or phone (250) 428-1759

Thanks to all.

The trail needed attention — blowdown, encroaching vegetation, a cabin that had sat through a full winter — and we needed hands. Eleven people showed up. And they absolutely delivered. The Trail Let's talk about the blowdown. There was a lot...

Ka Papa Cedars Trail: Clear, Clean, and Ready

If Ka Papa Cedars has been on your list, now is a great time to go. Monday, TCVS volunteers headed out to tackle a blowdown that had been blocking the trail. Six trees down, six trees cut out and cleared. The trail is now open and in excellent shape — exactly the way it should be. This is the quiet, unglamorous side of trail stewardship. No fanfare, just people who love these trails showing up with chainsaws and doing what needs to be done. We're grateful for every one of them. Help Us Keep...
