Wayne White talks about the Tsolum River and the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy


Wayne White is a member of the Tsolum River Restoration Society and a environmental professional. He's lived in the Comox Valley for decades and has been involved in a number of "green" initiatives through his work and through his passion for this place.

In this interview Wayne talks to me in his home close to the Puntledge River about one of the local environmental success stories and about the work that needs to be done to rehabilitate and conserve the natural resources that make the Comox Valley what it is. His comments on the importance of the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy reflect his experience in local government in this community, as well as his appreciation of the challenges of working in a multi-jurisdictional context.

This is one of a series of conversations about conservation in the Comox Valley being sponsored by the Comox Valley Land Trust (www.CVLandTrust.ca and Facebook.com/CVLandTrust) and the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy (www.CVConservationStrategy.org and Facebook.com/CVConservationStrategy).

There are many perspectives on conservation and stewardship and how these have an impact on our quality of life here in this region. This series of conversations will help to draw out some of the reasons why people are involved, and how smarter land use planning and development has a positive impact on all of us in the Comox Valley.
