Forest camp planned

A GRADE five class from
Thomhill will be the first in
Terrace lo take part in a new
forestry camp, put on by Ca-
nadian Women in Timber,

Canadian Women in Tim-
ber is a non-profit group
which promotes a balanced
use of the forest resource.

There are approximately
20 members in the Terrace
branch, and for the past
three years they’ve been
running woods tows for lo-
cal children,

But this year the members
decided they wanted to do
something different.

‘Prince George has a
wonderful forestry camp,
and we decided, why not try
something like that bere,”
says organizer Donna
Diana. ‘After all, forestry is
a very important part of
what Terrace is.’”

As a base for the camp,
Canadian Women in Timber
will be using the newly re-
modelled Kin camp, out at
Lakelse Lake, on May 4-5,
They will be the first group
to use the camp.

There are many events
planned for the weekend to
show students the wide vari-

ety of pcaple who usc the -

forests.

The weekend will start off
with a forestry tour, based
on the woods tours Cana-
dian Women in Timber has
conducted in the past. Dur-
ing the tour children will
learn about tree growth, the
harvesting cycle, forest food
and wildlife. That will likely
take place in the Onion
Lakes area.

“It’s a perfect spot for the
children because they can
see the process of reforesta-
tion,’’ says Diana. :
