Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment?
Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km
that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and
hay fields are good options.
Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing
soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow
soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination.
Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two
major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping
process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment
facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good
source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating
Celgrow into their soil.
If interested, please contact Len Hewat

Live shows are
back!
The Trail and District Arts Council
announces 6 Beats Apart, a series
of limited seating shows at The Bailey
Theatre this fall.
Since closing the Bailey Theatre
doors in mid-March Executive Director
Nadine Tremblay has been thinking
of new, safe, and fun ways to bring the
live entertainment experience back to
the community.
Nadine Tremblay said, “After the
decision was made to cancel all performances
this spring and summer,
because of the restrictions on large
gatherings, we felt that a mix of intimate
shows from BC artists would
bring a fresh spin to our programming,
while keeping our staff and patrons
safe.”
Each show will be for a group of fifty
people, providing a small club, exclusive
atmosphere, but with the great sound
and lighting of The Bailey. Attendees
will be able to sit in their social bubble
of up to six people with ample space
around each group to maintain physical
distancing.
Anyone attending will have to adhere
to safety protocols to ensure social distancing
and to prevent mingling. Full
refunds will also be given to anyone
who can no longer attend if they feel ill.
A selection of well-loved local performers
will be bringing the community
back together. Jazz series favourites
Melody Diachun & Friends will bring
us together on Saturday, October 10,
followed by John McLachlan’s music
multimedia show, Call it Home, on
Friday, October 16. Clinton Swanson
fans will love the cool Lazy Poker
Blues Band on Saturday, October 24,
while country fans will ‘yeeha’ when
Son of John opens for Lisa Nicole on
Saturday, November 14. Bringing the
laughs on Thursday, November 19 will
be award-winning comedian Mike
Delamont with his Socially Distant
Stand Up Comedy Tour, with the world
beat funk of nine-piece Hornography
on Saturday, November 28. Rounding
out the shows will be the Clinton Swanson
R&B Revue, a high energy eight
piece performing old school soul, R’n’B,
and blues, on Saturday, December 12.
To be part of this exclusive experience
tickets must be bought in
advance, either online at thebailey.
ca, or by calling the box office at 250-
368-9669. Tickets are $20 or $25 per
person, depending on the show, and
go on sale at 12 noon on Tuesday, September
8, subject to availability. Online
purchases can be made 24/7 until noon
on the day of the performance. The box
office will be open for phone purchases
ONLY from 12-4 pm from Monday to
Friday.
For those unable to attend, the option
to stream these limited-edition shows
will be available at a future date with
proceeds going to charity.
This show is made possible thanks to
funding from Columbia Basin Trust,
Kootenay Savings Credit Union, the
Province of British Columbia, BC Arts
Council, BC Touring Council, and the
Government of Canada.
The Trail and District Arts Council
want to thank everyone in the community
for their continued support, and
hope to see some of you in the audience
later this month. To keep updated on
what is happening visit trail-arts.com

Nearly $100
million in benefits
delivered by CBT
Columbia Basin Trust provided $97.3
million for programs, initiatives and
capital investments to positively impact
the communities and people of the
Basin, as released in its 2019/20 Annual
Service Plan Report. This includes $68.6
million in grants, $12.2 million in capital
projects to support economic development
and broadband infrastructure,
along with $9.2 million in business
loans and $7.3 million in real estate and
commercial investments.
Continued efficient and reliable operations
of its jointly owned hydroelectric
facilities in the West Kootenay along
with investments in real estate and
business loans, saw revenues increase
to $85.4 million, helping the Trust continue
to address the 13 priorities set
out in the Columbia Basin Management
Plan. These priorities guide the
Trust’s efforts to support communities
and were advanced in 2019/20 through
2,157 projects along with the introduction
of new programs and initiatives.
“Working with partners and communities,
we’ve kept moving forward
on the things that the people in the
Basin have told us matters to them
including affordable housing, childcare
and the environment,” said Johnny Strilaeff,
Columbia Basin Trust President
and CEO. “We are grateful for their
vision, support and collaboration over
the last 25 years and are deeply appreciative
of how we have been able to
grow and evolve as we worked together
to serve the people and communities in
the region.
“Now, as we continue to adapt to the
public health challenges of COVID-19,
we are looking ahead and asking residents
what’s most important to them
over the next 18 to 24 months, what
matters most to their family, what matters
most in their community, and how
can we work together to address those
priorities.”
The Trust is working on finalizing
a short-term strategic plan to determine
its focus over the next 18 to 24
months. Residents had until September
11 to provide their feedback. The new
plan is expected to be released later in
September.
“The past six months have been difficult
for communities and residents, but
it has also shown how strong and resilient
we are as a region,” said Strilaeff. “As
an organization, there have been valuable
learnings for our staff and Board
about how we work with communities
in ways that are most meaningful for
them. We are looking forward to hearing
from residents and incorporating
their feedback to develop a short-term
plan that is relevant and purposeful as
we continue to navigate a challenging
and evolving situation together.”
The Trust’s Annual General Meeting
took place online on September 18. For

RDCK wins a
2020 Sustainable
Communities Award
The Regional District of Central Kootenay
(RDCK) is pleased to announce it has been
selected as a winner of a 2020 Sustainable
Communities Award for exceptional work in
the Visionary Award category for Accelerate
Kootenays. The award honours and celebrates
the most innovative environmental initiatives
in cities and communities across Canada.
In collaboration with the Regional District
of East Kootenay (RDEK), the Regional
District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB)
and Columbia Basin Trust, the Accelerate
Kootenays Project was the first community
driven collaborative strategy to build a clean
transportation network by installing public
charging infrastructure for electric vehicles
(EV) throughout the region within communities.
It was coordinated over three years, at
the cost of $1.89 million, and involved multiple
partners with varying expertise to transform
a rural region into one that facilitates
EV travel.
The project successfully demonstrated
how regional governments and organizations
can collaborate to deploy a charging network
through strategic partnerships: to locate station
siting and regional appropriate technology
and outreach. It effectively increased

economic development opportunities
for local businesses, contributed to reducing
greenhouse gases in the transportation sector,
and has been recognized provincially,
nationally and internationally.
The RDCK is one of the 11 winners (local
government or municipality) from across
the country chosen by the Federation of
Canadian Municipalitites (FCM) for their
outstanding efforts in one of nine categories:
asset management, brownfields, climate
change, energy, neighbourhoods, transportation,
waste, water and a new category in honour
of Green Municipal Fund (GMF’s) 20th
anniversary.
Winners will each deliver a live, TED-talkstyle
presentation on their projects at FCM’s
virtual Sustainable Communities Conference
– held on October 20-22, 2020. Recipients in
each category are also eligible for the Inspire
Award, given to the most creative and innovative
project following the conference.
“Local solutions—scaled up—deliver
major national impact, like economic
growth and the emission reductions Canada
needs to meet its climate change goals,”
said Bill Karsten, President of the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities. “Whether it is
through improved energy efficiency, fewer
greenhouse gas emissions or stronger local
infrastructure, local governments get the job
done efficiently and cost-effectively because

Moreover, they exemplify how municipal
innovation can have concrete impacts and
deliver for Canadians.”
“It was a pleasure to work on this project
which presented tangible results and set
the path for our region to continue working
towards reducing our greenhouse gas
emissions within the transportation sector.
I would like to recognize Megan Lohmann
from Community Energy Association for her
leadership in guiding the project delivery,”
said Sangita Sudan, RDCK General Manager
of Development and Community Sustainability
Services. “The Accelerate Kootenays
Project also demonstrated that together we
can go far to achieve regional scale innovation
through strategic partnerships, collaboration
and continue to seek opportunities to
develop legacy projects.”
The Sustainable Communities Awards
is an initiative of FCM’s Green Municipal
Fund (GMF), a $1 billion program, delivered
through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities
and funded by the Government of
Canada.

Toadfest 2020
hopped online!
It goes without saying that 2020 has been a
year like no other in memory, but the toads
don’t know that. Their migration across the
highway from Summit Lake near Nakusp to
their forest wintering grounds went on as
scheduled. What did not go on as scheduled
was the in-person Toadfest , the annual event
to help the toadlets get across the road safely.
In light of restrictions on large gatherings,
the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program
hosted two online Toadfest events in 2020.
The events were recorded and you can
check them out at https://fwcp.ca/toadfest.
Learn more about the toad’s migration, life
cycle and the research and mitigation work
funded by FWCP. They’ve also posted some
songs and a few toad jokes. Toad Strong!

Face coverings required in all
RDCK recreation facilities
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is beginning
to safely re-open our recreation facilities for programs with
limited or reduced activities to accommodate the guidelines
and recommendation of local health authorities. Beginning
September 14, 2020, non-medical masks or face coverings will
be required when entering and moving through all common
areas of indoor recreation facilities, except when exercising or
performing physical activity. Wearing a mask combined with
other important preventative measures, such as frequent hand
washing and physical distancing, will help prevent the spread
of COVID-19. Using only a mask is not enough to prevent the
spread of COVID-19.
Exemptions – Face masks are not required when:
• A medical professional has advised that wearing a mask
may pose a health risk to or impair an individual
• Wearing a mask would create a health or safety risk to
the wearer as determined by federal, provincial or local
regulators or Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
guidelines
• An individual is physically unable to put on or take off the
mask without assistance
• An individual has trouble breathing or cannot remove the
mask without help
• An individual is deaf or hard of hearing and relies on
facial and mouth movements to receive communication
• An individual is a baby or toddler under two years of age
Ensure you:
• Place your mask so that it completely covers your mouth
and nose
• Put on your mask properly using the tie loops or elastic
bands that secure behind your head
• Wear your mask snug around your face and adjust it as
necessary throughout the day
• When taking off our mask and putting it down, place
it with the outside down on a tissue; if a tissue is not
available, clean the surface on which you placed it down
afterwards
• Wash your hands and face after removing the mask and
before touching your face
• Keep your mask clean and launder it once a day in warm
water
• Store your mask in a clean and dry space or properly
dispose of it
Please do not:
• Wear your mask under your nose and mouth
• Let a strap dangle down or cross the straps
• Touch or adjust your face mask without cleaning your
hands before and after
• Wear your mask on your head or around your neck or
arm
• Let your mask obstruct your vision
• Lay your mask on a surface that could be contaminated or
contaminate the surface
• Use a mask if it is damaged in any way
Recreation and park services are reviewed regularly as new
information and protocols become available. The RDCK
appreciates the patience of all our users as we implement new
expanded services with COVID-19 policies and procedures in
place.
For up to date information regarding openings and closures of
specific areas of recreation, please visit www.rdck.ca/recreation.
When I Go Away
Early in the morning
A-when the church bells toll
The choir’s gonna sing
And the hearse will roll
On down to the graveyard
Where it’s cold and gray
And then the sun’s gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away
Don’t want no sorrow
For this old orphan boy
I don’t want no crying
Only tears of joy
I’m gonna see my mother
Gonna see my father
And I’ll be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away
Please follow covid protocols at all venues.
I’ll be lifted up to the clouds
On the wings of an angel
There’s only flesh and bones
In the ground
Where my troubles will stay
See that storm over yonder
It’s gonna rain all day
But then the sun’s gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away...
etc etc

Oxygen adult
education lineup
After much planning Oxygen is
excited to launch their fall lineup of adult
education opportunities, combining a
fine array of online and small in-person
classes.
Oxygen conducted a student survey
earlier in June to find out how people
were feeling (with COVID in mind) in
regards to participating in arts education
this fall. The response was very positive
and clear – students want to be creative!
Oxygen then got to work with their talented
team of instructors and volunteers
to re-vision how the educational offerings
could be delivered in an innovative
and safe way.
“Oxygen will be offering seven
online courses and three small in-person
courses this fall,” says Education
Coordinator Natasha Smith. “Many of
our instructors have specifically created
classes that can be taught online,

utilizing the many tools that we now
have available to make this learning
experience rewarding, interactive and
convenient for our students. Another
benefit of online programming is that
we are removing the barrier of travel for
students that live outside of Nelson,” says
Smith.
The three in-person classes include,
Resurrecting the Lost Art of Letter Writing
with Rayya Liebich, Eco-Printing on Textiles
with Seathra Bell, and Painting on
Another Level with Natasha Smith. The
class sizes will be limited to a maximum
of 5 students and all COVID-19 safety
protocols at the Centre will be in place.
Oxygen is offering two online professional
development courses for creatives
this fall. Starting with Art Shack with
artist Ian Johnston. Ian explains: “It’s
a visual arts professional development
free-for-all! Over four evenings of group
conversation we will harness the hive
mind and the experience of the participants
to explore a self-identified group
of professional development issues such
as proposals, statements, audience, networks
and researching opportunities.”
This is an opportunity to share,
develop your skills, and meet other artists
in a supportive, collaborative space.
The second professional development
course is How to Submit to Commercial
Galleries with artist Kristy Gordon who
will unveil the practical steps you can
take to develop a connection with a commercial
gallery. The one-session course
includes a lecture, discussions and individual
feedback.
Deborah Thompson has designed an
online drawing course: Drawing with the
World in Mind. This course will run twice
a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for
the month of October. “The COVID-19
Global Pandemic has highlighted a long
list of global problems; climate change,
homelessness, opioid crisis, racism, classism
and more. Leaning into a creative
practice during these times is helpful
in developing meaningful insights and
in cultivating imaginative ways to give
constructive shape to the future,” says
Thompson.
Many students will be excited that Bessie
Wapp is offering Singing the Blues Goes
Virtual this fall. In this 7-week course
you will explore the rich swamp of the
human voice in a relaxed and supportive
environment through online group
and one-on-one sessions. In November
Rayya Liebich will be offering an online
Poetry Immersion course. From the comfort
of your home immerse yourself in
the language of poetry. Weekly online
classes will focus on studying the craft
of poetry (image, form, feeling) and
allow time for a series of guided writing
prompts to help hone your writing skills.
Also running in November and over
five classes Natasha Smith will be offering
Moving into Abstraction as an online
course. Through a series of hands-on
projects, students will explore various
techniques and alternative ways
to develop ideas and images that will
encourage a more abstract way of
working.
Interdisciplinary artist, prOphecy sun
will be offering an innovative course
this fall: Sonic Imaginaries: An Introduction
to Creating Electronic Compositions.
This online beginner level studio course
explores a wide range of methods and
conceptual approaches to creating electronic
sound. prOphecy explains: “Each
week will explore how sound emerges
and will survey conceptual and methodological
techniques used in music, video,
sound art, and other artistic production.”
Oxygen is committed to helping with
the transition to online programming
and will be offering a free online ZOOM
orientation session for students on September
17 at 5.30pm (pre-registration
required). Email: education@oxygenartcentre.org
to register.
Don’t wait--spaces are limited. Learn

BC Chamber’s Economic
Recovery Submission
The BC Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Recovery Submission
(submitted to Government July 21, 2020), is made up
of 54 policy recommendations focusing on competitiveness,
innovation, and inclusivity respectively. The plan is pan-provincial
in scope and aims to guide the province on stimulating
BC’s economy through measures that support small and
medium enterprises.
The submission recommends a bold new plan that does not
simply return BC to the uncompetitive business conditions
that existed before COVID-19, but rather encourages entrepreneurship
and investment. This strategy will not only undo
the damage inflicted by the pandemic, but will also create
a more competitive, resilient, and prosperous future for all
British Columbians.

How to host a sociallydistanced
Thanksgiving
It’s been a challenging year but celebrating our favourite
holidays can help us to feel busy, happy, and connected. If
you’re planning on hosting a modified Thanksgiving, maintaining
space and comfort is key.
A recent survey found that 74 per cent of people are concerned
about keeping their distance at social gatherings.
With this in mind, try not to let your guests congregate in the
heart of any home, the kitchen! Start meal preparation and
spaced seating plans ahead of time to limit close interactions
in the most commonly used spaces.
Here are a few other tips for hosting a physically distanced
celebration:
Host an intimate event. Invite only a few close family
members or friends and select the largest room in the home
for an informal setup. Without the traditional place-settings,
the host can ensure that guests are kept a safe distance apart.
No potlucks this year. It’s natural for guests to want to
bring a dish to the gathering, but this year it’s best to leave
DON’T BE SHOCKED... when our Electricians
show up on time!
the cooking to the host and keep the menu simple. With no
outside dishes involved, there is no excuse for guests to enter
the kitchen to prepare, heat up or plate their contribution to
the meal.
Preparation is key. Arranging a full Thanksgiving meal
sounds daunting, but with the right planning and tools in
place, it’s possible to host the perfect event, even without
guests’ help in the kitchen. Get the family and/or friends in
your bubble involved in the planning early on. Write a meal
prep timeline and assign names to tasks. Even small children
can help.
Offer guests plated meals to help limit contact and high
touch points. Also, ask guests to wash their hands when they
arrive and before the meal starts for peace of mind.

SUDOKU
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,
broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve
a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill
each row, column and box. Each number
can appear only once in each row, column
and box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers will appear by using the
numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
The more numbers you name, the easier it
gets to solve the puzzle!

Interior Health urging
campers to self-monitor
Interior Health (IH) is urging attendees of a camping event
at the Bombi Summit (between Castlegar and Salmo) to selfmonitor
after a large gathering occurred Sept. 12 and 13,
2020.
Interior Health has been alerted to a group of approximately
150 participants who attended the group camping
event. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic when we
learn that people have participated in large gatherings, IH
urges participants to self-monitor for COVID symptoms and
get testing should they develop.
We know COVID-19 is circulating throughout the Interior
Health region. While there was no confirmed case known
to be in attendance at the camping event, the possibility of
COVID-19 exposure is increased significantly when large
groups gather. We urge everyone to keep their bubbles small
and reduce their number of close contacts.
IH reminds everyone of the importance of following
COVID-19 precautions:
• Do not plan or attend gatherings of more than 50
people.
• Stay home and avoid travel if you have symptoms, even
mild ones.
• Maintain physical distancing (two metres apart) and
use masks when distancing is not possible.
• Wash your hands regularly and do not touch your face.
Testing is recommended for anyone experiencing symptoms
of COVID-19, including:
• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Loss of sense of taste or smell
• Other milder symptoms may include: runny nose, fatigue,
body aches (muscles and joints aching), diarrhea,
headache, sore throat, vomiting and red eyes.
Information about testing and public exposures to COVID-
19 throughout the Interior Health region are available here:
https://news.interiorhealth.ca/news/public-exposures/

British Columbia Centre for Disease Control website, available

Primary care network coming to RDKB
People living in the Kootenay Boundary
region will have better access to primary health
care with the creation and implementation of a
primary care network in the region.
“Team-based care that responds to the
needs of each community is going to be
the backbone of the new primary care system
in BC and will transform how patients’
everyday health-care needs are met today,
tomorrow and beyond,” said Adrian Dix,
Minister of Health. “By establishing new primary
care networks, as part of our primary
care strategy, we are strengthening health
care supports to address long-standing
gaps in everyday health care for people in
BC, including those living in the Kootenay
Boundary region.”
Government will provide $5.3 million in
annual funding to the Kootenay Boundary primary
care network when fully established.
Over the next three years, residents will
benefit from approximately an additional 33
full-time equivalent (FTE) healthcare providers
who will provide better access to primary
care in the communities. This will include family
physicians, nurse practitioners, registered
nurses, allied health professionals, a clinic
pharmacist, an Aboriginal health co-ordinator,
one manager and one administrative support
staff.
The Kootenay Boundary primary care network
involved consultation with the Kootenay
Boundary Aboriginal Services Collaborative.
The Kootenay Boundary Aboriginal Services
Collaborative has representation from the
Ktunaxa Nation, the Okanagan Nation Alliance,
Métis Nation, and the Circle of Indigenous
Nations Society. All partners continue
to be involved in the implementation of the
network.
“I wish to offer congratulations to the provincial
government, the health districts and to
the social investment sector for accomplishing
this outstanding partnership,” said Sophie
Pierre, Elder and former Chief, Ktunaxa
Nation. “When First Nations and Métis benefit
from such collaboration, all people of the
province benefit.”
Allan Louis, Syilx Nation health governance
representative, said: “Syilx (Okanagan) Nation
is pleased to support the announcement of the
primary care network in the Kootenay Boundary.
Improving the health of all Aboriginal
people in Syilx territory is a key goal of Syilx
leadership. Through these innovative collaborations,
we look forward to our continued
progress in implementing our partnership
with Interior Health and the Divisions of Family
Practice.”
The new healthcare providers in the network
will work to attach the approximately 15,250
people who do not have a consistent primary
care provider in the region, while providing
team-based care to residents of the Kootenay
Boundary.
It will address the specific needs of the population,
while ensuring there is a team-based
approach to providing culturally safe care.
These include strengthened supports and services
for:
• better access to chronic disease and
chronic pain management services;
• improved access to services for individuals
with mild to moderate mental health
and substance-use services;
• better co-ordinated services for families
and seniors who are frail and people
with complex health issues;
• improved access to maternity care;
• more access to comprehensive services
for people living in poverty; and
• culturally safe care for Indigenous
peoples.
For people and families, it means getting
faster, better access to their primary care team
or provider, including evenings and weekends,
as well as being connected to appropriate services
and supports in the community.
In addition to family physicians and nurse
practitioners, new positions include registered
nurses, allied health professionals, social workers,
and Aboriginal health co-ordinators.
The Kootenay Boundary primary care network
is a partnership between the Ministry
of Health, Interior Health, Kootenay Boundary
Division of Family Practice, the Ktunaxa
Nation, and the Okanagan Nation Alliance.
The network will serve people in Trail, Castlegar,
Nelson, Nakusp, Kaslo, Grand Forks,
Salmo and surrounding communities.

Adapting dementia
strategies
As steady as our environment can seem at
times, factors beyond our control have the
potential to rapidly change the world around
us. The current COVID-19 situation, natural
disasters and everyday events like an unexpected
illness or need for relocation can be
stressful, exhausting and can dramatically
change our behaviour.
These changes may be felt even more heavily
by West Kootenay residents living with dementia,
and their caregivers. This September, the

Alzheimer Society of BC is offering a free
webinar on strategies for adapting to rapidly
changing circumstances for people living with
dementia and caregivers.
The ability of a person living with dementia
to cope with rapid change can be greatly
affected by physiological changes to the brain
that result in changes to memory, communication
skills, and personality. Knowing how to
work together while respecting the individuality
of people living with dementia is crucial
to successfully navigating rapidly changing
circumstances.
Behaviours have a reason
When a person living with dementia acts
in a way that may appear strange or out of the
ordinary, they are often doing so to communicate
a need or to meet a need. For example,
pacing can indicate a need to get outside and
walk, while also being a way to expend energy.
Understanding why a behaviour is occurring
can help you to strategize ways to respond and
meet the needs of the person.
Take time to reduce stress
Being the care partner of a person living
with dementia can be stressful and at times,

Though being aware of current events is critical
to our ability to respond to rapidly changing
circumstances, obsessing over the news
can be anxiety-producing and detrimental to
our response to these circumstances. Limit
time spent absorbing worrying information.
To learn more about adapting to caregiving
and living with dementia in a rapidly changing
environment, you can participate in the
Alzheimer Society of BC’s upcoming webinar
Responsive Behaviours in a Changing Environment.
It runs on Wednesday, September 23 at

Take a hike, take a photo, and you could win amazing prizes!
It’s Forest Week in BC (Sept 20-26) and the West Kootenay
EcoSociety wants to keep the spotlight on forest issues like the
disappearing old growth forests in the West Kootenay and what
that means for us. We rely on healthy forests for clean water and
air, and for access to natural spaces to help keep our minds healthy
too. Unique local animals also rely on special features only found
in old growth forests. With healthy old forests, our communities
have a better chance at adapting to climate change issues like
increases in flooding, drought, landslides, and forest fires.
Get out and share your photos of you with amazing plants and
animals. We need your help to protect these unique and beautiful
forests from being logged. Show us why they are important
to you!
Share your photos by September 29, 2020. Prize winners will be
randomly drawn on September 30.
