This newsletter is being published at a particularly exciting time. The Land Trust has had its best year ever with heightened levels of support and participation from our growing community. Our capacity building project is now finished and surpassed many of the goals we had set. The Arthur Langford Nature Reserve project was fully funded, paper work tidied up, and a formal dedication was held on a spectacular day last October. This magnificent property is a very fitting tribute to Arthur.

LPBLT properties contain some exceptionally large Hemlocks, including trees among the largest recorded in Canada. HWA puts these irreplaceable trees at risk.
