    On Saturday April 14, there will be a club walk at the Campbell River Estuary. Meet at 9 am at Courtenay Country Market to carpool. The walk will be led by Loys Maingon, and may include a stop for lunch after the walk. Bring water and wear suitable boots, and dress for the weather

    The Campbell River Estuary is known world-wide for its Tyee Pool, where monster salmon have been caught, but there is more than that. Like most of the estuaries near industrial sites, it has suffered contamination from industrial waste and destruction of its riparian borders. Previously home to three sawmills, complete with land sorts and log haul-outs, the place was trashed and dead. In 1996, Campbell River adopted an Estuary Management Plan, and extensive restoration has occurred.

    Details on the Restoration plan are available from the Campbell River City website:

    The Estuary Management Plan was developed to identify challenges and activities necessary to the restoration of the estuary of the Campbell River.
