Netta Zeberoff
offers advice to Doukhobor Discovery Centre staff
member Ben Buckley about placement of 60 newly arrived
trees and shrubs.
These plants
are provided through the provincial Trees For Tomorrow
Program in cooperation with the City of Castlegar,
www.treesfortomorrow.gov.bc.ca.
The
trees arrived from Grand Forks with a stowaway marmot,
which escaped when the trees were being removed from
the pallet. It appears that this marmot had come to
Grand Forks from Vancouver Island. It was then decided
that it was not the right type for intermingling in
Grand Forks, but they were unable to capture it for
return. Now it has taken up residence in the Centre’s
implement shed. The Centre regrets any effects to
our ecological balance because of its presence.
