If you have hiked along the South Fraser Witness Trail, you know what a beautiful place it is. It has now become a lot less beautiful as a systematic efforts proceeds to displace the endangered species such as Pacific Water Shrew and Red Legged Frogs, and trash their habitat.
We went for a hike on February 6 along the trail to see how much still remains, and how much the provincial government has trashed for the South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) freeway. See below for the video:

Photo: The black plastic is used as a barrier while displacing the endangered species, then the habitat is trashed with heavy machinery.
