FoER Board Field trip to Eagle Ridge
On May 20, 2012, Members of the Board of Friends of Ecological Reserves went on a field trip with Adolf and Oluna Ceska to the Eagle Ridge area by Koksilah Provincial Park, west of Shawnigan Lake This area has been proposed as an ecological reserve in past years but has been held up by timber rights and various bits of red tape. Below are some pictures taken on the trip:
