Add a little youth

and watch what happens

ence, including, in North Saanich,
Igor Zahynacz, municipal engi-
neer; Jo Doman, trails co-
ordinator; and Robert Nash, site
supervisor. Readers undoubtedly
saw members of the Youth Corps
working industriously on the clean
up of the recent Sooke oil spill.
The team of Robert Nash, Ian
Hatt, Leah Luckhurst, Colin
McRae, Rick Mogenson, Sasha
Tarasoff and Troy Wolfe have been
recently concentrating their efforts
upon the upgrading of trails in the
linear park in the Green Park area
where today’s photo was taken.
Readers will recall that this gen-

eral area was ecologically dam-
aged during the development
phase.

Fortunately, the Youth Corps
have seen fit to plant no fewer than

a thousand cedar and fir trees
along this trail. Trees which will
enhance privacy, protect the trail
surface, prevent soil erosion, pro-
“vide essential habitat for flora.and

fauna, and in general increase the
esthetics of the area.

Specifically, two trails in the
area have been upgraded by the
Youth Corps during this season -
the one which leaves West Saanich
Road just north of Kanishay Road,
crosses Woodcreek Drive and
intersects Landsend Road and the
other which proceeds from Land-
send Road south to Oriole.

Our communities are privileged
in having the volunteered and
energetic expertise of Trails Co-
ordinator, Jo Doman, who has
worked steadfastly over the years
in the interests of securing ready
access to many enjoyable regions
of our Peninsula.
