Nature Vancouver

We will be walking the trails of lower Hollyburn Ridge east of Lawson and Brother’s Creeks primarily along the route of the Brother’s Creek Forestry Heritage Walk designed by the West Vancouver Historical Society, West Vancouver Museum and the District of West Vancouver. On the way we will have an opportunity to view various sites relating to the logging that took place in the area between the 1870 and 1950s as well as items of botanical  and geological interest. Side trips will take us to some of the veteran Douglas-firs and redcedars that survived the logging. We will try to find what is left of the famous Candelabra Fir. Elevation gain: 280 metres. Meet at 0930 hours at McDonalds, Park Royal for car pooling or to collect persons traveling by bus. Alternatively, meet at 1000 hours at the trail head at the intersection of Eyremont Drive and Millstream Road in the British Properties, West Vancouver. Estimated time of return: Mid afternoon. Bring lunch and water and dress for changes in weather. There are many rough, rooty and muddy sections on the trail, so hiking boots with ankle support are essential.
