A large piece of land estimated to be worth millions of dollars in Parksville, B.C., is being turned over to the Nature Trust of B.C. and the Snaw'naw'as First Nation.
Some 71 acres of land beside Top Bridge Regional Park is being gifted to the two groups by construction company Emil Anderson Group.The land, which is located near the Englishman River, has been untouched since the construction company purchased it in 1960. Emil Anderson Group says old-growth trees and salmon-spawning grounds are located on the land, and the company wants to make sure the ecological sites are protected moving forward.
"To know that the Nature Trust with the local First Nation will care and preserve this land in perpetuity, it's a wonderful feeling," said Michael Jacobs, chairman of Emil Anderson Group."Our responsibility is to our children and grandchildren and those yet unborn," said Snaw'naw'as First Nation council member Christopher Bob.The location of the new park land is pictured.
