  Description

  Hi! We live on a beautiful acreage with alpacas, chickens, ducks and dogs. We have 2 teenage boys at home. We are in Cowichan Station (Duncan) BC. There are many places to explore in the area. The train tracks run past our property and there is no longer a train so it’s a great trail now. Bright Angel Park is a beautiful swimming spot about a 15 minute walk.

  Help

  We built a trail around our 6 acre property and we need to maintain it by trimming and spreading bark mulch. There is lots of gardening that could be done and some painting. Some of our property is forest and we need to clean up branches from fallen trees. No chainsaw help : )
