Our contribution to La Peche’s efforts to combat climate change

Choosing electric tools is one way we are doing our part to combat climate change.

​Last fall we met a goal set 3 years ago - to transition all of our tools from gas to electric powered. We didn’t do it all at once. Over time, as we needed new things, we chose the ones that were electric. Tools needed for building boardwalks, clearing trails or cutting branches or sign posts include skill saws, impact drivers, leaf blowers, chain saws, grinders, and lawn mowers. We are proud to say all of these, save one large chainsaw, are now electric!

Another benefit of battery operated tools is that they are portable. Portable tools allow us to do the work in the field rather than needing a workshop. We primarily use the Makita brand as the same batteries serve all of the equipment, which allows us to carry less with us on the trails. This is one way that we are doing our part to lower carbon emissions in our community.
