I am sure that 5!r. Perry had a most appreciative audience. hfay I say we sat at his feet. One thing Mr. Perry impress- ed upon his audience was this fact, from Capilano to AVhyte- cliff Our wild flowers are going. As a Game iVarden I have seen with regret people in cars from Vancouver and other cities, lift- ing with trowel or knife slabs of Mimulus and Valerian. I have seen these same people digging in the crannies of Cypress Can- yon for our rarest of Cypreped- iums. To what end? They will not g~ow if they are disturbed. They will not thrive in cultivated soil, they are Caractacus in Rome. I would like, through your col- umns to bring this matter before our Reeve and Council and to ask them to create honorary officers sho would, to the best of their ability safeguard our native flora. I quite apprehend that this is a difficult matter, but every lover of our woodland trails can do something from an educative standpoint. Let me say at once that it is »ot the AVest Vancouver resi- dents who are responsible for this destruction of our flowers. I have seen time and again school children from Hollyburn and Pauline Johnson Schools in the act of finding our first spring flowers, and admiring them in a spirit of re"erence. Nor are the hikers that jour- ney to the Ski camp guilty in this respect. Not once since the ski camp was established have l had cause to caution these young friends of mine to leave our birds aiid flowers at peace. The guilty parties are the strangers witl out our gates. the man with a car who comes from anywhere and grabs a bunch of flowering currant, do~vood, mi- mulus and campian and when he gets to Second sparrows bridge, he finds they are wilted and throivs them over. I think it is we]1 worth while for our Reeve and Council to look into this matter and to act upon it as seems best to them. Any gratuitous service I can offer them I ivill give gladly.
