As you may know, BC Hydro is upgrading and expanding the McLellan Substation just west of Brydon Lagoon in Surrey. As part of the upgrade, BC Hydro will be removing a significant number of trees on their property. While this project is entirely within Surrey, it will impact Brydon Lagoon. As such, Langley City staff, as well as Langley community organizations such as the Langley Field Naturalists, have been talking to BC Hydro to find ways to minimize the impacts.
I wanted to share the latest map showing the tree-clearing area and where BC Hydro will retain trees.

As you can see, BC Hydro's current plan is to retain the section of trees (550 m2) on the southeast part of their property and a two- to six-metre buffer on the east edge of their property line.
I also understand that BC Hydro plans to do further landscaping and natural restoration after they complete the substation expansion.
More information about this project is available on their website, including information about how to reach out to BC Hydro.
