Tsolum River Investigation
We will explore the Headquarters of the Townsite Park in Merville, check out the Fitzgerald Trail and learn about the Tsolum River, as well as the history of this area as one of the first townsites in the Comox Valley. Laura O’Brian from the Tsolum River Reservation Society will be our Nature Mentor.
Laura has some viewing equipment (hand held microscopes and scopes) that she is going to share with us – so we’ll find some time to go on a bit of a nature hunt and do some up-close viewing of our discoveries.
Location: Please meet at the Headquarters/Railway Avenue entrance to the park (Take Headquarters Road out of Courtenay, at the “T” (approximately 10 minutes out of town), turn left following Headquarters Road to a 3-way stop. Veer to the right through the 3-way stop continuing on Headquarters Road. Just past Railway Avenue, there is a sign for the park. Some of you may know this location as “the deep hole” if you’ve been swimming out this way.
Please also RSVP by email or on our Facebook page if you are planning to attend so I have a sense of numbers and who is planning to attend.
