FOREST WALKS WITH W.O.L.F.
The Watchers of Langley Forests will be holding a another day of free guided tours of East Mclellan Park Forest. This 25 acre forest is just behind Gray Pit on 84th Avenue , just minutes away from Fort Langley.
The tours will be happening from noon to five on Sunday August 26. Everyone is welcome. As always volunteers to help with the tours are also welcome. No experience in the woods is necessary. If you can't help that day let us know what you can do. There are plenty of skill sets that we need.Contact us at savemclellanpark@gmail.com
The trail head is located on 257A Street.An info table will be there with people to greet the public. If coming from Fort Langley follow River Road east, make a right at 256 Street, then make a left on to 84 Ave. 257A Street is about a quarter of a kilometre, on the left hand side. If coming from Aldergrove or the freeway go north on 264 Street, make a left on to 84 Ave, 257A is about a kilometre and a quarter, on the right hand side This is a visual peek at what awaits you. Here is a link to a blog post about one WOLF member's experience in the woods. Thank you to Sierra Club for their help. |

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FOLKS
Thank you to everyone who came out to help with the forest walks yesterday. We won't win this fight without your support and many others like you. Thanks also to those who came out yesterday and took a walk in the woods. I hope you all signed the petition. Those of you who volunteered to take a petition sheet home with you and collect signatures are especially appreciated.
A big Thank you also to Councillor David Davis, who took the time in a busy day to drop by and show his support once more.We hope he is not the last member of the Council to do so.
And thank you to Radio Canada and CBC for coming out to cover this important story.
As many of you know the name of Mclellan Park and by extension this blog are taken from the pioneer family .the Mclellans. It was especially heartening to have two senior members of the family,John and Phylis Mclellan drop by to show their support. Thank you to them and indeed other members of the Mclellan family. We hope the background information that they provided will prove fruitful. Certainly learning about early Langley history is always interesting.
As always people need to make their voices heard by writing to Mayor and Council and also writing letters to the editor.
