Gus Johnson Work Party


UPDATE! The dead fall clean up is now scheduled for September 9th, pending written approval  from Recreation Sites and Trails BC. Thanks to everyone who has contacted Jim so far!

As a follow-on to our August 18, 2012 Lac Le Jeune Conservation Association AGM, Jim Phillips is actively organizing the Gus Johnson trail clean up work party. Here is an invitation from Jim to participate in the process.


I have received permission to clean the Gus Johnson trail and fix a path through the mud hole at the Lookout Road end. Recreation Sites and Trails BC require the names of the people that are going to be on the trail and the date of completion. They will then provide the approval in writing.

The Schedule 

Day 1: Saturday,  September 9th (was Sept 1st)
Clean up the dead falls on the trail. We will need 5 or 6 volunteers, a couple chain saws and a couple ATVs.

Day 2: Saturday, TBD (was September 8th)
Again, 5 or 6 volunteers are needed to fix the mud hole. My thought is to use some gravel and a piece of culvert 3 -4’ long to create a path on one side but will need the material. Does anyone have an idea where we can get this material free? Does anyone else have another idea to repair the mud hole?

This is a bit of rush but I need confirmation of those who can volunteer, and what they can bring, by the morning of Wednesday, September 29th so I can get the approval in writing. Please email jimp@telus.net if you can volunteer or supply material.

Thank you!
