The trail’s first phase is expected to be completed by summer
Another 2017 project is an upcoming reforestation program which includes the planting of approximately 500 native trees and 600 shrubs to help ensure the continued diversity and health of this diverse natural forest. As part of this effort, volunteers will assist with removing the invasive species prior to this new planting. The City of Burnaby has partnered with CN EcoConnexions – From the Ground Up for this project.
