Downed Tree Removed from Lower Oilcan

Downed Tree Removed from Lower Oilcan

On Saturday, February 20th, DNV staff and volunteers from the NSMBA removed a downed tree on Lower Oilcan.

 

Removing the tree was complicated, as it had pushed over another standing dead tree and was resting on top of a skinny. We cut off the majority of the downed tree, and then used rigging, a pulley system and some elbow grease to stand the tree back up. This shifted the root ball back into it's orginal position, allowing us to safely remove the standing dead tree without damaging the skinny.

New Web Site

Welcome to the new NSMBA web site! As you might have noticed, a few things have changed. To get started with 2010 we've made a few modifications to the web site. We'd like to invite you to sit back, grab a beverage of your choice, and take it for a spin.

There are a few big changes for us, so if you notice any issues, or have any ideas, comments, suggestions, or concerns, please feel free to e-mail them to webmaster@nsmba.ca. Hit the read more link for details about the changes.

  • Domain Change: We have changed from using nsmba.bc.ca, to using nsmba.ca. This should simplify things a bit, making it easier to remember and find the web site. The nsmba.bc.ca address will still work (it'll forward you here), and any e-mails addressed to addresses@nsmba.bc.ca will automatically get forwarded to the proper address@nsmba.ca (though if you want to be totally proper, you can update your address book as well).
  • New Web Site Platform: The new site is based on Drupal, a widely used open-source content management system. The real strength in Drupal over other platforms lies in its ability to be extended. Within a very short timeframe we have already managed to integrate many custom functions into the site.
  • New Membership Signup & Management Platform: CiviCRM is a constituent relationship management platform, which will allow us to streamline our membership signup and administration. It also provides a much easier solution for us to send out e-mail updates, and also the potential to manage event signup online.
