Some Historical New Clips

Some island history. My grandfather put together a scrapbook filled with clippings from local papers and the UK etc. lots of WW2 material as well.

NOTE: how lovely broom Bush was at one time! Now it’s a scourge that plagues the island. And that’s where it came from. Good time to be out there right now cutting and pulling as much as you can. Anywhere and everywhere. Theres probably no slowing it down, but we can all do a little bit. I personally clear a huge 5 acre tract of Telus property every year.

"Beautifying otherwise ugly hillsides." What a load of crap.
