Hello! I’m a resident of Metro Vancouver that’s interested in hiking, trail running, whitewater/sea kayaking, gravel/mountain biking, rock/ice climbing, canyoneering, and paragliding.

Current projects:

1. Rural farmland
2. Salmon habitat restoration projects
3. Bicycle parking
4. Rock climbing crags

My main contributions to date have been:

1. Walking, Hiking, and Cycling Trails and Resource Roads
2. Waterfalls
3. Emergency Shelters, Fire Lookouts, and (well known) Cabins
4. Rec Sites, Rec Reserve, and Conservation Area Boundaries
5. Paragliding takeoffs, landings, and wind socks
6. Rock & Ice Climbing Crags and Routes
7. Campsites and Camp Pitches
8. Misc. Park Amenities (bathrooms, fountains, picnic tables, etc.)
9. Mountain Peaks, Passes (saddles), Pinnacles, and Ridges
10. Natural landscape (specifically aimed at mountain or water navigation)
11. Rural properties
12. Bicycle racks

My motivations:

1. Have a public record of the world that is not controlled by a corporation, government, or special interest group
2. Remove barriers to outdoor recreational activities
3. Protect areas from commercial development
4. Ensure emergency services have an accurate map
