This summer, I enjoyed reading an advanced copy of the book "On the Trail - 50 Years of Engaging with Nature." Members of the Langley Field Naturalists wrote this book. It tells the stories of field naturalists in our community and the contribution they made not only to Langley but also throughout North America.
Locally, the Redwoods Conservation Area, Forslund/Watson Reserve, and Brydon Lagoon are some of the direct results of efforts by field naturalists to protect and enhance natural areas and native species. The story about how these places came to be is wonderfully told in this book.
A handful of books tell the settler stories of Langley, Langley City and the Township. This new book is a fine addition to this body of work. I am sure that historians will refer to this book when they research our community in the coming decades.
Langley City Council was proud to provide a grant to help make this book possible, and its official launch is happening this weekend.
The details are as follows:
Saturday, December 9th at 2 pm
Langley City Library
20339 Douglas Crescent
I hope to see you there.
You can check out a copy of this book through the Fraser Valley Regional Library system.
