DEGIRS PACIFIC MARINE: FISH, FORESTS, ENGINEERS & GEOSCIENTISTS FIELD TRIP
Jeremy Araki PEng, Alan Chatterton PGeo EngL RPF, Domenico Iannidinardo PEng RPBio RPF, Craig Sutherland PEng
8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Southern Vancouver Island has a unique history of private land development dating back to pioneering railway land assignments in the 1880s. The result of this is a large and relatively resource dominated private landscape adjacent to the edge of increasing human population pressures. Issues of how resource managers address these opposing forces will be reviewed on site and there will be various stops of interest in a working forest. The Stolz Bluff restoration site, the 2008 APEGBC Sustainability Award winner, which is located on the Cowichan River, will also be visited. As the tour will include walking in forested areas, please bring a jacket and wear appropriate footwear.

VICTORIA’S DOCKSIDE GREEN FIELD TRIP
Joe Van Belleghem
1:30 – 4:30 pm
A holistic, closed-loop design, the eco-residential and eco-industrial development of Dockside Green will function as a total environmental system in which form, structure, materials, mechanical and electrical systems will be interrelated and interdependent - a largely self-sufficient, sustainable community where waste from one area will provide fuel for another. Residents, employees, businesses and the broader community will interact in a healthy and safe environment, reclaimed from disuse and contamination. Following a 45-minute presentation at the Victoria Conference Centre about the project, participants will take a 20 minute walk to Dockside Green and tour the completed residential & commercial phases of the project as well as the wastewater treatment plant and the biomass. Please bring a jacket and comfortable walking shoes.
