I'm aware that your own blog <strong>My Cohousing Adventure</strong> is a good source of information on eco-travel around Vancouver Island. The photos in your recent post about Vargas Island convey a sense of the true beauty in our backyard.

I think it's a wonderful concept. Julie Johnston of the GreenHeart Education website ( http://www.greenhearted.org ) recently introduced me to the idea of the 100 Mile Vacation (I guess the term was inspired by the 100 Mile Diet). Those of us who live on Vancouver Island are fortunate enough to be surrounded by fabulous scenery and activities. It's very easy for us to be local tourists. But the notion of volunteering an an environmental or agricultural project is new to me, and it is one that I will consider. Thank you for sharing the idea of local conservation vacations, David.
