Jim Palmer talks about Morrison Creek and the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy

In December 2010 I visited Jim Palmer in his home close to the Morrison Creek and Puntledge River confluence. Jim has a long history and interest in conservation and stewardship activities. In our conversation he talks about getting involved in stewardship activities in the Morrison Creek watershed, and the significance of the Comox Valley Conservation Strategy for people working on separate watersheds.

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.
