Doing some research for our upcoming Open Space on "What Green Means for Bowen Island" and I came across this lovely .pdf of a book produced by the Islands Trust called "A Place in the Islands." Required reading for anyone living in the Salish Sea.

Bowen Island is 20 square miles of rock lying two miles off the west coast of Canada. It is home to 3700 people, three mountains, two valleys, four lakes, about 15 beaches, two species of salmon, one village and me and my family.
"To chart this land hanging over ten thousand inlets and a distant mind as of many narrows, an impossible thing - no music sounds as many changes with such common theme."
