Welcome to GreenwaysGreenways Land Trust is a conservation organization that works to enhance recreational and ecological greenways for people and wildlife. The work is accomplished by volunteers who participate in: stewardship, public education, and community events. Greenways supports projects that enhance salmon habitat, the restoration of Baikie Island and interactive programs for adults and/or kids (e.g. Haig Brown Summer Camp). Funding is provided from DFO Public Participation Program, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, Vancouver Foundation, HRDC, Nav Canada, Shell Canada and many others over the years. GLT volunteers also perform trail maintenance, most notably in the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands. In 2007, GLT officially became the stewards of the Haig Brown Heritage Property and so there will be plenty of opportunities to become involved! If you, like us, believe in healthy living in harmony with the natural environment and sustainable development, join us in the many activites that we undertake throughout the year.
Goals
The Latest from Greenways:
Greenways Land Trust Blog Greenways Loop: The Jubilee ConnectorCampbell River's Council has endorsed the southern portion of the Greenways Loop, the Jubilee Connector, to be implemented and managed by Greenways Land Trust. This 2.5km trail will link the Rotary Seawalk with the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands along Jubilee Parkway creating a 25km greenway around Campbell River. Construction is projected to start May 2010. This project will employ displaced forestry workers, offer recreation and alternative forms of transportation to residents, as well as reduce invasive plants and increase tourism offerings. Keep watching this site for an exciting new redesign expected in Spring 2010
