We are on the home stretch in our goal of cleaning up Little Mountain of the trash and debris that has been a blight on this pristine area for so many years.
This initiative began in May of 2019 and the goal is to finish the job in May of 2020. So far, through the support of Mike Gillen from Kestrel Helicopters, two major lifts have resulted in the removal of 13 tons of waste.
Preparing the mountain for a helicopter lift is a labour intensive and backbreaking job. Volunteers must work on the slope of the mountain base to sort and pack garbage into bags that can be picked up by the helicopter.
After the first lift, Rotarians and Little Mountain residents were joined in this task by the BC Chapter of the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers who have given the project a tremendous boost through their muscle and enthusiasm.
