International Bog Days Hike Sunday July 26

Wilderness Committee Trail Club International Bog Days Hike
Sunday July 26, 2009 11 - 3

Photo - Pacific Water Shrew

Join us for a hike through the unprotected edge of Burns Bog threatened by the proposed South Fraser Freeway, home to endangered wildlife such as the Pacific water shrew. Then we will join a Burns Bog Conservation Society interpretive tour through the Delta Nature Reserve, the only section of the bog with developed trails.

The Wilderness Committee has been working to protect Burns Bog for over a decade, see our 1999 report www.wildernesscommittee.org/publication/edu_report/buy_back_burns_bog_now

Difficulty Moderate, the hike will be fairly short but is on rough ground without developed trails. You might get your feet wet.

Cost Free

Book ahead We will be taking a maximum of 12 people on this hike.

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.

We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
