A vandalized RV and a large pile of garbage have been dumped in Noble Canyon near Lavington. This is a recurring issue: in April 2022, a burned-out RV and a smashed fifth-wheel trailer were found at the same location. The District of Coldstream stated the area is outside its jurisdiction. The volunteer Okanagan Forestry Task Force (OFTF) previously cleaned up the site, but founder Kane Blake noted the process is costly and time-consuming, with no government funding. Since 2016, OFTF has removed over 1.4 million pounds of garbage and metal from Okanagan backcountry.
