Projects
Things are certainly happening at Timberline these days! We have already begun significant upgrades to the property, and there are many more in the planning stages.
We are now in the midst of Phase I, which we hope to have completed during summer 2010, and we have many more projects to follow. See below for an estimated timetable of projects currently planned, and check out the site plan to see how it will all fit together.
We also want to extend a big Thank You to all of our corporate donors, who have each played an important role in these projects.

How Can I Help?
The only thing stopping any of these projects are the precious resources of time and money. If you have either available to you, and you would like to help see some of these projects happen, we would be glad to talk to you. We need volunteers to help build (preferably with some trades skill and experience), we need materials to be donated, and we need, well, money! As a non-profit society, we will of course, issue tax receipts where appropriate.
If you can help in any of these ways, please call our Property Manager, Hal Schienke at 604-463-9278, ext. 23 or email him at hal@timberlineranch.com. Alternatively, you can contact our Executive Director, Craig Douglas at 604-463-9278, ext. 26, or craig@timberlineranch.com. Also, you can now quickly and easily donate online.
Thank you for your interest and support of Timberline Ranch.
