THE Land Conservancy of British
Columbia (TLC) is hosting a Father's
Day Cruise to raise money for the pur-
chase of Thwaytes Landing.

As part of fundraising efforts, the non-profit

group is holding a Father's Dav dadian Arm
Dinner Boat Cruise on fune 17. The J9S8Qs classic

wood motor vessel wall deave Coal Harbour at
p.m. and travel through Indian Arm.

The four-hour cruise will give guests a cultural
and natural history of Thwaytes Landing, with all
proceeds going toward the acquisition of the land.

Currently 825,000 has been raised toward the
purchase of the area. according to Tamsin Baker,
the Lower Mainland regional manager tor TLC.

A total $450,000 is needed to pay for the first
of five sections of the 130-acre piece of land. OF
the TY lots the property is divided into, seven

waterfront lots could be purchased on
Juiy 14.

Over the next two years, TLC will
work with other interested parties to
purchase and protect the area. By
2002 the organization is nlanning to
have cornpletely boughe our the pri-
vately owned Jand for a total of $2.2
million.

Once the all the lots are bought the
Jand wiil be used as a public area,
although Baker said, “exactly what
that means yet we're nor entirely
sure.” She said the group will be meet-
ing with various organizations to
determine future use.

The group wants to ensure that no
further development will take place on
this land. Preservation of the area will
protect it for outdoors and wildlife
enthusiasts alike.

TLC is also placing emphasis on guar-
antecing the natural habitat of the area
because it provides a home ro a variety
of birds and animals, including black
bears.

There are well-marked trails through
the forested area which houses water-
falls, rocky outcrops and Indian Arm
viewpoints. As well, there are three
year-round streams.

The area is situated between Mount
Seymour Provincial Park and the
newly created Indian Arm Provincial
Park.

Tickers for the cruise are $100 per
guest and available by calling TLC at
733-2313.
