Local Voices: Vanishing Skid Roads, Visible Remnants of Logging Above Lynn Valley, 1895-1915 with Larry Marshik
Wednesday, April 10 at 6 p.m.–7:30 p.m.
FreeA visual exploration of logging on the North Shore, from the forests via flumes and skid roads to the mills at Burrard Inlet. After a career as a land surveyor, Larry Marshik turned to exploring his “backyard”: North Vancouver’s mountains and forests. In West Vancouver, logging activity took advantage of the creeks. Today, the Old Growth Conservancy and Lighthouse Park are home to the few remaining “big trees” of the Pacific Northwest rainforest.
Local Voices celebrates our community, as it was and as it is, in the words of the people who live here. Learn about who we are, why we chose to make our home in West Vancouver, and what we do here—presented in partnership with the West Vancouver Historical Society.
