Roderick Haig-Brown was a fly-fisher, a conservationist and an author. https://www.haig-brown.bc.ca/haig-brown-family-history/ From there, we will walk the short trail through the Baikie Estuary. This is a flat, out-and-back walk of about 6.2 km. The following link will help you understand the extent of the restoration which has occurred in the estuary: https://www.natureconservancy.ca/en/where-we-work/british-columbia/featured-projects/salish-sea/campbell-river-estuary.html Major work on the estuary has continued up to and through the summer of 2023. https://www.greenwaystrust.ca/projects/baikie-island-and-campbell-river-estuary/ We will check out the River Nook, with its Alex Witcombe mural and sculptures (https://driftedcreationsart.ca/public-art/) before heading to More Eatery for lunch. |
