• Forest Fire Fuel Reduction Day!  The Friends of Woodhaven is committed to assisting the Regional District of the Central Okanagan in reducing the fire fuel load in Woodhaven. Last year,  high school students and several member volunteers removed 3.5 tonnes of debris from the forest.   Please join us again Saturday October 14 to haul more dead and downed wood from the forest floor.  We'll have two time slots again  (9:30 - 11:30 am or 12:30 - 2:30 pm).  Put this in your calendar, gather a crew of friends and colleagues, and join us!  The more the merrier.

AGM

At our AGM last March, participants created this collaborative poem:

​

Early Spring, Woodhaven

 

beneath my feet

the ground thaws

wakes from its slumber

while the sounds of forest

mix with sounds of city

California quail, Toyota

Corolla, call and

response, engine light

flickers, and a hawk

scatters all the squawking birds

into the chilly woods

 

(collaborative poem made at Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre, March 4 2023)
