Richmond Nature Park

Richmond Nature Park preserves about 200 acres of the raised peat bog habitat that once covered much of Lulu Island in the Fraser River delta, protecting a rare bog-forest ecosystem of sphagnum moss, heath shrubs, pond habitat, and bog-adapted trees. Purchased in 1962 and developed as a nature area beginning in 1968, it gained a committee in 1971, its official name in 1972, and the Nature House in 1976. Trails and later improvements, including an accessible boardwalk and protection zone, support public use and conservation. The park shelters more than 100 species and remains an important refuge for bog ecology, education, and recreation in east Richmond.
