It's been a great campaign. Thank you to all who have contributed your time, effort, talents, resources, and most of all your ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT!

Conservation Strategy Survey

Nov 10, 2011 

1. What will you do to stop and reverse the continuing loss and fragmentation of natural areas? I support identifying and preserving the corridors identified in Nature without Borders. It is obvious from the mapping that, with the exception of large swaths around what appears to be the Ryan Road corridor, many of the most recently documented losses occurred outside the boundaries of Courtenay. This is probably in large part due to the earlier losses of natural areas in the urban...
