TimberWest has donated $25,000 to Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society for a viewing tower over Somenos Lake. The viewing tower, which will be constructed on land owned by Ducks Unlimited Canada and The Nature Trust of British Columbia, will give nature enthusiasts, bird watchers and tourists a new view of the waterfowl, birds, plant life and other wildlife that use the marsh for food, protection and breeding habitat. “TimberWest’s generous gift allows the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society to complete the wildlife viewing platform at the Somenos Marsh Open Air Classroom,” said Paul Fletcher, co-founder of the society. ..Last year, TimberWest donated the 94.5 hectare Somenos lake bed to Ducks Unlimited Canada.
