SUMMARY:Hogan Family Nature Park Springtime Walk and Work Party
DESCRIPTION:Easy: There are no toilets or picnic tables at the park.\nLeader: Wendy DaDalt\nLocation: A small dead-end parking lot at 28632 Debruyne Road\, west off Bradner Road and north of the Fraser Highway. \nCome to Hogan Family Nature Park to enjoy a quiet\, mixed forest with blooming spring flowers. The 8ha (20 acre) City of Abbotsford Park on the headwaters of the Salmon River\, is open again after the 2021 “Atmospheric River” damaged its small bridges. We will start with a 1 km easy walk around the trail loop. This should be a great time to see and photograph trilliums\, vanilla leaf and bleeding hearts. During this walk we will also flag invasive plants. \nThe AMNC has “Adopted” this park\, which was donated to the City. A lite work party will follow for those wishing to prune or remove plants needing attention. Details will be\nprovided to registrants. \nRegister by emailing wendy@dadalt.net.
