A six step public planning process to determine a common shared vision for future use of the GCL was officially endorsed by the City in October, 2012. In 2007, Council adopted three themes to guide the development of a proposed 65 acre park that was part of a previous plan which would have seen the Lands exempted from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). These themes were Community Wellness and Enabling Healthy Lifestyles, Urban Agriculture, and Environmental Sustainability. Given that the City of Richmond now owns the whole 136.5 acre site and the Lands are staying within the ALR, these themes will be tested for their validity and relevance as part of the public engagement process. Stage One of the process includes the first 3 planning steps including Inventory and Analysis, Identification of Opportunities and

C. BENNETT (1977) Outdoor recreation involves a complex interaction between people and the physical environment. Since weather is a key determiner of personal comfort, climate is an important consideration in the assessment of outdoor recreation suitability. Personal comfort levels are difficult to establish and require the assessment of numerous variables. However, reliable classification schemes have been developed. Personal comfort variables include ambient air temperature, wind, relative humidity, solar radiation, as well as activity levels and clothing.

  • Knowledge, Attitudes and Activities Around Wildlife and Nature a Case Study of Richmond, BC
    Knowledge, attitudes and activities around wildlife and nature A case study of Richmond, BC Linda Love, MPA candidate School of Public Administration University of Victoria July 2015 Client: Marie Fenwick, Manager, Parks Programs City of Richmond Supervisor: Dr. Lynda Gagné, Assistant Professor School of Public Administration, University of Victoria Second Reader: Dr. Kimberly Speers, Assistant Teaching Professor School of Public Administration, University of Victoria Chair: Dr. Richard Marcy, Assistant Professor School of Public Administration, University of Victoria ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the support of the City of Richmond. Your support and enthusiasm for the project made this research both fun and rewarding. While I know there were many others behind the scenes, I want to particularly thank Marie Fenwick for believing that this research was useful, Kris Bauder for sharing her wisdom and experience about nature in Richmond, Andrea Lee Hamilton for her communication expertise, and Emily Toda for everything she did to get the survey up and running and helping me navigate the Let’s Talk Richmond tool. And of course to my family for keeping me fed and reminding me to have fun - you know I never would have made it without you! [1-i] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION This report summarizes research conducted for the City of Richmond, a fast growing community situated on an island bordered by the Fraser River and the Georgia Strait. The City has a wealth of wildlife and possesses unique ecological characteristics. In recent years, Richmond has experienced a significant amount of social and cultural change. The objective of this research project was to better understand the attitudes that Richmond residents have towards wildlife and nature in the City, and to identify any differences in these attitudes between socio-demographic groups.

  • SRP Soil, Plants and First Nations Lesson 6
    Science Unit: Soils, Plants, and First Nations Lesson 6: Richmond Nature Park Fieldtrip School year: 2007/2008 Developed for: Britannia Elementary School, Vancouver School District Developed by: Catriona Gordon (scientist), Mary Anne Parker and Nicola Robinson (teachers) Grade level: Presented to grades 1, 2 and 3; appropriate for Grades 1 to 5. Duration of lesson: All day Notes: Note: Part of this lesson was conducted by Richmond Nature Park interpreters, who conduct school programs including First Nations bog plants and their uses. Objectives 1. Explore, first hand the large diversity of native bog plants used by First Nations Coastal peoples. 2. Discover the many uses of First Nations plants including edible plants and those used in aboriginal technology. 3. Learn about common invertebrates found in Richmond Nature Park. Background Information Richmond Nature Park is located on Lulu Island and represents the largest remnant of Greater Lulu Island Bog. This bog was a very important site for coastal First Nations people, particularly the Musqueam people, who historically collected essential food crops such as cranberries and blueberries during the summer and early fall and preserved them for use over the winter. Labrador tea, an evergreen bog plant, was also collected by First Nations and used to make a beverage and for medicinal use. Sphagnum moss, characteristic of bogs was used for baby diapers, bedding, wound dressings and for cleaning fish before smoking them. A bog is an acidic wetland, characterized by a bed of spongy, wet sphagnum moss. When the moss dies it adds new layers of peat. The peat layer in some instances can be up to 6 meters deep.
