Island Trail Gnomes

⭐️ Island Trail Gnomes is back for another season of gnome searches on beautiful Vancouver Island ⭐️

08/17/2023

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to apologize as I have not been able to submit any Island trail gnomes searches in the last few months. Facebook has decided that this site is influencing people and has banned us from using it. ( somehow I got on today) Sadly the only influence has been to encourage to get outside , enjoy nature and find an adorable gnome at the same time. I am trying to get around it but it is not looking positive in our favour. 

I thank everyone who participated, followed, shared and hope you were lucky enough to find an Island Trail gnome. 

Wish us luck to stay active! ( we have lots of gnomes to hide still)!!

Get outside, Have fun and be kind ❤️
