When someone dumped a trailer in B.C.’s backcountry, a group put them on blast
Global News
The Okanagan Forest Task Force was recently notified about a trailer dumped along Beaver Lake Road in Lake Country. They decided to post about it on social media.
It’s a case where a picture is worth 1,000 words.
Luckily for Kane Blake, president of the Okanagan Forest Task Force, he happens to have 68 pictures.
The group was recently notified about a trailer dumped along Beaver Lake Road in Lake Country.
Blake said they posted some photos on social media.
“It didn’t take long for the person to come forward and talk to us,” Blake told Global News.
“And, yeah, I gave them a choice to let us post the photos or all of the photos, actually, or to issue a public apology. You know, this is one of those situations where you owe the public an apology, as well as everybody in our group.”
Blake said the group spends hours cleaning garbage out of the backcountry.
Earlier this month, they cleaned hundreds of pounds of dirty diapers left behind by a family who lives in the woods.
