Logging Started on Witness Trail – Witness Hike Sun. Feb 6, Action on Mother Earth Day April 22

From the Livable Region Coalition

The South Fraser Witness Trail follows the route of the proposed
South Fraser Perimeter ‘Road’ freeway through an urban forest in Surrey.
Named as one of the city’s five major natural area hubs in a recent
study, it is home to deer, beavers, herons, owls, salmon, and endangered
species such as the Red legged frog and Pacific water shrew.

Now the provincial government is starting to log the easily
accessible sections of the South Fraser Freeway route, including at the
west trailhead of the Witness trail. Come on the hike to see what is at
stake if the South Fraser Freeway gets built, and find out what we can
still do to stop it and other freeways in the region.

When: Sunday February 6, 1:15 pm
Where: 168 St. & 108 Ave. in Surrey (meet at bus stop – map: http://bit.ly/aXEEZG)

Skytrain. Just get on the bus at 12:47 pm at Bay 12 under the tracks
