Volunteer Covenant Monitoring at TLC’s Sea to Sea Regional Park Covenant
April 13, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
In the summer of 2017, a one hectare piece of this park experienced a wildfire. Covenant holders TLC and Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT) have been monitoring the regeneration of vegetation at the site since the fire. We will return to the site to count what species and how many are returning. After, we will hike over to Mt Brule for scenic views and lunch. Expect a 160 meter elevation change and a 3 to 4 km round trip.We will be staying on the designated trails; however, during the wildfire site survey we will be stepping off trail. 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.
