Vancouver walks in nature

  • 2022-07-24
People who enjoy the outdoors have an event coming up just for them.

Staff members from the Water Resources Education Center, a part of Vancouver Public Works, will lead a walk along Burnt Bridge Creek. Walkers will have a chance to learn about the area’s native flora and fauna, as well as how the city manages stormwater, and efforts to restore the greenway.

The Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway Trail is a paved, well-maintained walking/running trail that winds for eight miles through varying landscapes, all within the city limits. People on the trail will pass through forests, wetlands, and grasslands where they will be able to spot waterfowl and songbirds, and may catch sight of a deer or coyote. The trail is accessible from multiple points, and is divided into sections. The east is in wetlands and meadows, the center is near soccer fields, and the west is forested.

People of all ages are welcome to join in the walk. The event will take place near the North Devine Road trailhead, and the exact location to meet the guides will be provided to those who register for the event. Registration is mandatory, as is the signing of a waiver.

The Burnt Bridge Creek Nature Walk will take place from 9:00 am until 11:00 am on August 11. There is only room for 12 people to take part in the event. Organizers of this type of event can use brochure printing to create informative pamphlets for attendees.
