  • Regional Park Reserves & Ecological Conservancy Areas
    Metro Vancouver's regional parks system includes three regional park reserves (Blaney Bog, Widgeon Marsh and Fraser Islands) and two ecological conservancy areas (Burns Bog and Codd Wetland). A reserve is a regional park that is not yet open to the public. The priority for the ecological conservation areas is ecological protection, not public use.

  • Natural Resource Management
    ​Metro Vancouver's goal is to conserve ecosystem health to ensure long-term resiliency. Regional parks play an important role in conserving natural processes, and also sustaining diverse biological communities and habitat. Our goal is to accommodate public use of parkland within the limits of acceptable impact to the ecosystems.

  • Blaney Bog Regional Reserve
    ​Blaney Bog Regional Reserve protects 124 hectares of mostly wetland. It contains the only documented mound bog – stream fen complex within the Fraser lowlands. It provides habitat for a variety of animals including deer, beavers, coyotes, amphibians, sandhill cranes, green herons, great blue herons and American bitterns.
  • Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area
    This raised bog ecosystem is globally unique because of its chemistry, form, flora and large size.
  • Codd Wetland Ecological Conservancy Area
    Codd Wetland contributes to the health of our waterways, air, climate, and soil systems. It protects critical habitat for a variety of birds, fish, mammals and amphibians, some of which are no longer found in developed and well-used landscapes of the region.
  • Fraser Islands Regional Park Reserve
    Three islands make up the reserve that protects more than 200 hectares of important river island habitat.
  • Widgeon Marsh Regional Park Reserve – Design Stage
    Widgeon Marsh Regional Park is a beautiful place filled with wetlands, forests and sweeping mountain views. Although it’s not currently open to the public, the park has a recently approved management plan that provides a framework to design the park.
