45 species indentified on bird watching tour

By Arienne Jongbloets.

Consumer hunger for waterfront property has virtually put undeveloped beach front land on the endangered list.

CEEDS member, Rob Diether thinks they’ve come up with something workable with a combination of co-operative ownership and the involvement of The Land Conservancy of British Columbia.

Usually known as TLC, The Land Conservancy is a non-profit, charitable Land Trust working throughout British Columbia. TLC protects important habitat for plants,animals and natural communities as well as properties with historical, cultural, scientific, scenic or compatible recreational value.

Diether said TLC paid a visit to the property in May and what they saw convinced them to take a serious interest.“

It’s home to a mother badger and four kits,” noted Diether. “There’s a rich riparian area and a multitude of birds and wildlife.”

He said a recent bird watching tour identified 45 different species. In addition, the property is part of a travelling corridor for migratory birds.

...we'll see what will happen to the birdlife and wildlife here...
