Vancouver Island is beautiful. Let's get rid of all the garbage! The trail network located on Weigles Rd. near Doumont Rd.
is a great place for mountain bikers, hikers, ATV riders and dirt bikers to enjoy outdoor recreation. Unfortunately, this area has been historically used as a dumping ground and many areas are in desperate need of waste removal. Bagged Garbage is being removed from the area, thanks to the RDN! If you would like to get involved, you can use the page, or email me (Doug) at [email protected] or

It was the second time that the Doumont Restoration Project was at Vancouver Island University to promote sustainability, and it will not be the last!
It was great to see so many organizations on campus that support the preservation of our environment. Big thanks to Margot Croft for organizing the event!

Trail Tracking and Rubbish Removal! :D
(Because alliteration is awesome)
It was the last day of trail mapping on behalf of the District of Lantzville and the Lantzville Foothills. Another 4 large bags of garbage were removed from a great network of trails outside of Seaview Elementary.
Big thanks to some lovely ladies at the Lantzville Legion, and a nice local hiker for taking two of the photos!
More work will still be taking place in Lantzville so stay tuned!
