Short hike at the Richmond Bog Forest (part of Richmond Nature Reserve): Sat, Dec 4th (9:30am - 1:00pm). Rating A2

Join us for an easy stroll through the Richmond Bog Forest (we'll walk on a trail or boardwalk, not through the bog). Minutes away from the Brighouse Skytrain Station, the bog is part of the Richmond Nature Reserve. The Richmond Nature Reserve contains 200 acres of raised peat bog habitat and there are numerous trails through it. We'll spend a couple of hours walking and enjoying the surroundings. If you like viewing flora, birds and other wildlife, there are plenty here! 

After visiting the Richmond Bog Forest, we'll either part ways or go for lunch in Richmond.

We are going rain or shine!

When: Saturday, December 4th (9:30am - approx 1:00pm. Longer if we go for lunch.) 
Meeting Location: In front of Brighouse Skytrain Station (Canada Line) at 9:30am sharp. We'll then take the #405 bus to the bog.
