Anyone up for a hike?!

We have organized a field trip onto the ALR/Crown lands that are being proposed for exclusion in west Prairie Valley. I think this is a fabulous idea and hopefully we will have a large turnout. I think all of us should cover this land with our own two feet and experience first hand what we stand to lose to a massive, (over 300 hectares), sprawling development. What is the ground like? What is the wildlife like? And exactly HOW BIG is 300 hectares? After all, right now this area is Municipal and Crown Land, which we all share ownership in. What vision do we have for this area? We should know what it is we are talking about, and what better way than a good, long walk in the woods!

We will be meeting at the gravel pit at the "y" just before the landfill, Sunday June 12th, at 2:00pm for this excursion. Tony has offered to study the coordinates of the property lines and guide us with a little GPS technology. We will attempt to walk along part of the boundary of the 157 hectare ALR parcel. So throw on your hiking boots and pack your water bottle. Who's up for a hike!?!

Comment if you are interested. Suggestions Welcome!
