Dear Editor:
As one who has lived here for the majority of my 68 years I must say I have never seen our climate become so dry.
I doubt anyone ever guessed that a “rain” city like Vancouver could ever be short of water, but alas it has. Whilst we are being given many instructions and information as to how we can help preserve water, there is one element that seems to be missing and that is the birds and other small creatures who inhabit the North Shore.
While I am very aware that we must be careful not to attract wildlife that can be dangerous, you can purchase hanging water devices for birds which are available at North Shore pet stores.
Of course if you are able to take some buckets of water for the trees and plants in your area that is also extremely useful.
Let’s try to think beyond ourselves if this dry period continues and try to embrace the fact that all living things need water to survive so let’s make sure we do our part.
