THE BRUCE TRAIL CONSERVANCY
Environment Committee
2008 Calypso Orchid Environmental Award
In 2008 the award was presented to Dave Moule at the AGM by Janine Zend and the nominator Janice McClelland. Dave has made numerous contributions over the years to the preservation and restoration of the Escarpment and the Trail with relentless dedication: as land steward coordinator for the Caledon Hills Bruce Trail Club, he has trained new land stewards and recommended, supervised and participated in the planting of 300 native white spruce trees. Dave has designed new trails and lead work parties, working closely with the Caledon Hills club Trail Building & Maintenance Director and, as trail captain, has maintained a section of the Trail in the Bruce Peninsula. Dave participated in the development of the Cheltenham Badlands Management Plan, especially in trail maintenance. Dave and his wife gave an easement from their farm which allowed the development of a new side trail on Optimum route, the Hockley Crest Side Trail.
Dave has made as well significant contributions to educate the public about the Trail and the Escarpment, being among the firsts to explain that the Bruce Trail was “more than hiking”, that it was about “preserving the Escarpment”. He has coordinated the preparation of the 25th edition of the Bruce Trail guide.
