COMPLETED CUTS of 2018

April 21, Saturday, 9:30 am – noon.  Along Anderton Road just north of Ryan Road

April 23 Monday – Friday April 27,  9:30 am – noon.  Ryan Road starting at Anderton Road.  We’ll be cutting small broom that has sprouted in this area.  We’ll continue along Ryan Road working from where we left off on Saturday and working back towards the car dealerships.

April 28, Saturday – Lazo Road from Guthrie Road and working towards Point Holmes. Look for our signs. I’ll be just past Lazo Road at the pull out on the left. The road isn’t very wide but there is some parking close to Guthrie and more by the wildlife viewing area. Park where there isn’t broom so that we’ll have space to cut and stack.

April 30th Monday – We’re teaming with the people from CFB Comox and K’omoks First Nation to clear lots of broom at Goose Spit. If you plan on joining us, please let me know by Wednesday April 25th.

May 1, Tuesday, 9:30 – noon. Hawkins Road (the road that leads down to Goose Spit). There a pull out for parking at the top of the hill by the curve. Otherwise park on Croteau Road beside MacDonald Woods and walk over to join us.

May 2, Wednesday, 9:30 – noon. Rotary Trail. Park at the train station off Cumberland Road. We’ll work both ways along the trail and the railway tracks and cut broom that has come up in the past couple of years.

May 3 and 4 Thursday and Friday, 9:30 – noon. Back on Ryan Road wherever we left off this week. Look for the broombuster sign on the north side of the road.

May 5, Saturday, 9:30 – noon. Roundabout at Pritchard and Knight Roads (near the airport) There is parking at Woodland Flooring, either in front of the building or at the side closest to the airport.

Turn left onto Comox Logging Road and follow it to Buckstone Road on the right (directly across from Black Gold Landscaping Supply). Parking along Buckstone Road.
May 9-11, Wednesday – Friday, 9:30 – noon. Orchard Park in Cumberland. Drive through Cumberland to the end of Dunsmuir Rd. (Camp Road). The park is on the left and we will be cutting some big broom across the road from the park.

May 14 – May 18, Monday – Friday, 9:30 – noon: Northeast Woods in Comox. Park in the parking lot at the end of Torrence Rd. past the Public Works Building. Walk down the access road behind the yellow gate and look for us somewhere in the big meadow. We’ll be cutting small broom that has sprouted in the past 3 years since we cleared the meadow of huge broom trees. This is a lovely quiet place to cut!

May 19, Saturday, and May 21, Monday, 9:30 – noon. Roundabout at Pritchard and Knight Roads (near the airport) There is parking at Woodland Flooring, either in front of the building or at the side closest to the airport. We cleared all of the broom in front of Woodland Flooring two weeks ago and plan to get the broom cleared the remainder of the way around the roundabout.

 

May 22 – 25, Tuesday – Saturday, 9:30 – noon. Ryan Road. We’ll resume where we left off cutting small broom that has sprouted in the last year or two. We’re working our way west from Anderton towards Crown Isle on the north side of Ryan Road. Look for our signs and park carefully along the roadside.

 

May 28 – June 1, Monday – Friday, 9:30 – noon. Ryan Road, finishing off the broom that is on the north side close to the car dealerships (if we don’t get that completed tomorrow). We’ll then start on the south side of the road, beginning at Crown Isle Drive and working towards Anderton. Look for the signs and the cars parked at the side of the road.
