Four local businesses have banded together to give the roof over Goodsir Nature Park's founder and operator Jim Good's head a new lease on life.
On Monday, staff at Ridgeline Corp. were at the preserve north of Prince George donating their labour to replacing the roof on Good's home with lumber bought by local businessman John Brink and transported at no cost by RONA.
Another local company, which prefers to stay anonymous, donated a new central heating system, furnace and propane tanks.
The lumber will also be used to upgrade the park's signage.
The donations come on top of $10,000 raised through a GoFundMe campaign, pushing the the total value of the contributions to about $30,000, according to a statement from the Brink Group of Companies.
"The receive this kind of help, at a time when the park is celebrating its 30th anniversary, is just wonder," Good said.
The park is home to over 2,000 plant species and over 200 types of trees as well as an indoor plant museum and two botanical gardens, according to the preserve's website.
