For a four days in late April a few trail builders from FoCW had an opportunity to branch out and to work building stairs and boardwalk on Flores Islands Wildside Trail.  The weather was sunny, the material was already dropped into the worksite and with help from Parks Canada we were able to replace rotten and dangerous sets of stairs and build sections of boardwalk over swampy ground. It was a fun challenge and satisfying to see how over the many years of building boardwalk in the Central Walbran and ‘Eden Grove’ how our building skills have progressed.
Many thanks to the Ahousaht Nation for inviting us onto their territory and the Wilderness Committee and Parks Canada for the organizing to make this happen.
