Lower Coquitlam River Nature Association

Lower Coquitlam River Nature Association In 1996 Colony Farm Regional Park was chosen to be one of four parks to try out the Metro Vancouver Parks Partnership Initiative.

Colony Farm was unique in that it was the newest regional park and that it had a land use plan attached. The groups that first met to form what became the Colony Farm Park Association (CFPA) included the Burke Mountain Naturalists, Wildlife Rescue Association of BC, Douglas College Institute of Urban Ecology and FarmFolk/CityFolk. Since the first meeting in the summer of 1996, the partnership betw

een these groups and Metro Vancouver Parks staff has been very successful. The partners have worked together to plan and implement wildlife enhancement projects, set up a community garden, organize community events and improve the trail system to provide greater access to people who use mobility aids. The partners also successfully raised funds to build a pedestrian bridge over the Coquitlam River.
