  • 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.

    Experience the Fraser (ETF) is a unique vision to connect communities, parks, natural features, historic and cultural sites and experiences along the Lower Fraser River. The Canyon to Coast Trail and Recreational Blueway are the backbone of the project, connecting Hope to the Salish Sea by means of over 550 kilometres of trail (43% of which is already in place) and via the river itself.
  • Colony Farm Sheep Paddocks Trail
    Environmental studies, site analysis, public consultation and detailed design for a pedestrian-cycling trail have been completed. Construction is now underway that will allow a route in the northern portion of the park to be restored. Anticipated completion is 2020.
