2 INTRODUCTION Who we are and what we do: Metro Vancouver is a partnership of 22 municipalities, one Electoral Area and one Treaty First Nation that delivers regional-scale drinking water, sewerage and solid waste utility services. The region regulates Air Quality, anticipates and plans for growth, provides affordable housing and manages a Regional Parks system consisting of 22 regional parks, 3 reserves, 2 ecological conservancy areas and 5 greenways. Regional parks are located close to the Lower Mainland s population, and in general, are large natural parks that provide recreation and education opportunities and offer protection of unique and sensitive natural features. Metro Vancouver Regional Parks hosted over 9 million visitors in Metro Vancouver s 2011 Regional Parks Plan established the following core goals: Goal 1: Protect ecological health Goal 2: Promote outdoor recreation for human health and wellness Goal 3: Support community stewardship education and partnerships Goal 4: Promote philanthropy and economic opportunity lease lands. Pepin Brook traverses the park adding valuable riparian habitat to the landscape mosaic. Aldergrove Regional Park provides an opportunity to: Promote a variety of outdoor activities such as walking, jogging, horseback riding, cycling, picnicking, nature study, and off-leash dog use. Enhance and restore previously disturbed lands for recreation purposes and habitat enhancement. Conserve regional biodiversity by protecting critical fish and wildlife habitat including spawning and rearing habitat for salmonids and for the endangered Nooksack dace and Salish sucker; and stopover, refuge and corridor habitat for over 200 species of birds and mammals including one endangered and seven vulnerable species. Conserve and manage important regional food lands while preserving the rural character. Hold large gatherings and events. Experience scenic vistas of rolling farmland, distant mountains, and unique features such as the Big Rock, a glacier erratic. Aldergrove Regional Park Part of a Regional System The park comprises 280 hectares; the northern portion consists of second growth forest, recreation areas, and trails, while the southern section is made up of a reclaimed gravelmine and agricultural METRO VANCOUVER REGIONAL PARKS AND GREENSPACE H o w e S o u n d Crippen BOWEN ISLAND LIONS BAY WEST VANCOUVER 1 99 Capilano Watershed Capilano River B u r Lynn Headwaters NORTH VANCOUVER DISTRICT NORTH VANCOUVER CITY r a r d I n l e t Seymour Watershed Seymour River Greenway BURNABY LSCR Thwaytes Landing BELCARRA I n d i a n A r m Belcarra ANMORE PORT MOODY Coquitlam Watershed Minnekhada Widgeon Marsh Codd Wetland P i t t L a k e Metro Vancouver Parks LSCR (Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve) Greenways under development Park Reserves Limited Public Access Ecological Conservancy Areas No Public Access Watersheds No Public Access Strait of Georgia Pacific Spirit Iona Beach VANCOUVER Burnaby Lake 7 91 Brunette-Fraser Greenway Sapperton Landing NEW WESTMINSTER COQUITLAM Fraser River Islands Colony Farm PORT COQUITLAM Surrey Bend Pitt River Greenway Tynehead PITT MEADOWS 7 Barnston Is North Alouette Greenway Derby Reach Blaney Bog MAPLE RIDGE Kanaka Creek F r a s e r R RICHMOND i v e r Deas Island 17 DELTA 99 Burns Bog Delta South Surrey Greenway Mud Bay SURREY LANGLEY CITY Brae Island LANGLEY TOWNSHIP Glen Valley ABBOTSFORD Matsqui Trail 11 Sumas Mtn TSAWWASSEN FIRST NATION Boundary Bay Boundary Bay WHITE ROCK 99 Campbell Valley Aldergrove Regional Park 08/12
3 MANAGEMENT PLAN PROCESS What is a Management Plan? A Management Plan clarifies the desired program, services, development and conservation priorities for the park over the next 20 years. The planning process has included inventory and analysis, First Nations, public and municipal engagement. We are currently in the concept development phase. This fall draft concepts will be presented for public, municipal and First Nations input before a final management plan is prepared for Metro Vancouver Board approval in early When will it be implemented? In phases over the life of the plan, proposed amenities and landscape improvements will be implemented through Metro Vancouver capital funding, grant programs, partnerships and volunteer initiatives.

7 AGRICULTURE Agriculture within the park will move towards a sustainable program featuring public interaction and learning opportunities to enrich the visitor experience and support sustainable food systems. Partnerships with the community, academic and agricultural agencies will be explored to provide an innovative and self-sufficient sustainable farming program that incorporates public education and recreation. Opportunities to repurpose and reactivate heritage farm buildings within the agricultural program will be sought. The south park trail, winding along the southern park slopes, will traverse the agricultural lands providing trail users with the opportunity to view and interact with working farms. Camp Elkgrove will be supported by maintaining an agricultural sphere of influence which furthers the Camp s goal of providing recreation and agricultural learning opportunities to disadvantaged children. CULTURAL HERITAGE Park visitors will be connected to the rich cultural history of the park through innovative programming and interpretation. Programming will focus on the themes of natural history, First Nation culture, and farming and pioneer heritage. An ongoing partnership with Matsqui First Nation to preserve and present their culture and heritage will be sought. An interpretive experience connecting visitors to the Big Rock will be explored as a priority along with the area s history as a First Nations gathering place. This gathering place theme will be furthered by continuing facility and program support for the gathering of families, community events and festivals, and recreational groups that has emerged in the park s more recent history. The Loucks heritage house will be preserved and an appropriate repurposing of this building will be considered. A partnership with the Royal Astronomical Society will be pursued enabling an Urban Sky Park designation of the bowl area and provision of educational programming.
8 RECREATION A diverse range of high quality, accessible recreation opportunities for both individuals and groups will be provided, strengthening connections with the outdoor environment. The expanded and enhanced trail system will allow visitors to experience a variety of landscapes as they travel by foot, horse or bicycle around the park. Neighbourhood connections will be provided as will community connections to both the South Langley trail corridor and Abbotsford trail linkages. The main day-use and Blacktail picnic area will provide recreational opportunities focused on nature play, learning and adventure. An expanded, accessible trail loop will connect children s play stations as well as viewing and seating areas. Additional group picnicking facilities will be provided with adjacent lawn areas for informal play. Aldergrove Bowl will be enhanced as a major park node with new programmed activities for youth such as adventure play and challenge courses; supporting facilities for group events as well as outdoor festivals; and a potential stocked fishery in the Marsh pond. The Marsh Pond Trail will be upgraded to provide an accessible trail loop with ancillary facilities upgraded for accessibility. Additional recreation opportunities for dog owners and their pets will be provided in an expanded dog area including an off-leash walking loop trail. Partnership opportunities for additional amenities, such as an agility area, will be explored. ECOLOGY Regional biodiversity will be conserved by protecting critical fish and wildlife habitat for several endangered and vulnerable species within the park. Regionally significant upland forest and riparian areas will be enhanced, strengthening ecological diversity and resilience. Previously disturbed lands will be restored for habitat enhancement or creation as well as recreation purposes. Protection and enhancement of several key areas will include the forested panoramic ridge, the at-risk plant community north of the bowl, vernal wetlands, Pepin Brook corridor and the Gordon s Brook wetland areas. Ecological diversity will also be supported by controlling invasive species and enhancing native species within the park. Further research partnerships and interpretation opportunities will be explored. The park s role in providing valuable ecological services and habitat will be recognized.
