Признайтесь, Marmot: тайная некоммерческая консервэйшн организация - это вы?

Metro Vancouver has agreed to sell the majority of its Cape Roger Curtis land on Bowen Island to a conservation group that opposed a previous plan to create a campground at the site.
The deal, announced Friday, includes the sale of 65 hectares of the regional district's 97 hectares of land on the southwest corner of the island in Howe Sound, about 20 kilometres northwest of Vancouver. The non-profit Bowen Island Conservancy is paying the district $30 million for the parcel.
Metro Vancouver bought the 97 hectares, which a developer had previously created roads through and cleared building sites on, for $40 million last year.
The regional district had planned to build a 90-site campground with the purchase, but ran into local resistance. Friday's sale marks the end of that plan.
