Volunteer Covenant Monitoring at TLC’s Covenant on Mount Work Regional Park
April 24, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
TLC holds conservation covenants on the south west side of Mount Work. Starting from the Munn Rd entrance we will trek through the mossy forest lowlands and see fairy slipper and coralroot orchids on the way to the secret cabin for lunch. We will conduct repeat photography at our wetland sites and monitor any landscape changes from the wet winter. We will be staying on the maintained trails and expect a 2 to 3 km round trip with a slow elevation change of about 100 meters. Pack plenty of water, a lunch and appropriate clothes for the weather.
We ask that volunteers be comfortable hiking for two to six hours both on and off trail (bushwhacking), with a full backpack containing water, lunch and any personal needs. We are often in areas where washroom facilities are not available. We are hiking in uneven terrain where slips, trips and falls are possible. Please take caution while walking through steep and unmaintained terrain. Please note that TLC staff are trained in First Aid and carry a kit.
We encourage carpooling to reduce our carbon footprint. Please indicate if you are interested in carpooling with other volunteers. TLC can provide rides for up to three people in TLC’s car.
