Greetings All,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of you may know me already, so for those who do not, I will introduce myself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Barb Haley and I have been a resident of beautiful Peachland for over 14 years, over 10 of those I have served our community in the Peachland Fire and Rescue Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year I joined the ranks of the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance and its many diverse members as a Forest Watch Volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 52 years young, I have spent all of my life in the back country either camping, swimming, kayaking, raft guiding, biking, cross country and downhill skiing, or just laying on the dirt appreciating the sky and life around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a 15 year old daughter who shares the same passions in whom I have instilled love and stewardship of our Earth and home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My daughter, Chevy (Peachland Youth Citizen of Year Alumni) is a wonderful ambassador of the environment and all that is in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have tried to teach her that even one, small person can make a difference and be an inspiration to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My apologies for my long winded biography, so I’ll get to my point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It breaks my heart to see the clear-cut, greedy pillaging, the use of our backcountry as a dumping ground for our household waste and yardwaste materials. IMO, there is no excuse good enough for that kind of questionable behavior(s). I want to leave this place in better shape than it was passed on to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pictures that I have shared in this message<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is what I see a lot of on my adventures with my dogs. I spend a lot of time wandering aimlessly, off trails and continuously shocked at what I find out there, and the trouble that people have gone to.<\/p>\n\n\n
