About this project
Burnaby Mountain is a designated conservation area that protects our forests, wildlife, plant life and water systems. The 578-hectare conservation area is a mountain ecosystem of plants and animals alike. We recognize that the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area (BMCA) is an environmentally sensitive area of regional importance, and the recreation service provision is continually evolving.
In 2019, the Environmental Conditions Assessment identified the need for a trail management plan for Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. The City of Burnaby is developing a trail management plan for Burnaby Mountain to balance conservation and recreation in this well-loved natural park. Thank you to everyone who shared their voice through our public engagement activities in spring 2024. For more details, please read What We Heard Report.
