Kaymar Creek Tour
I'd like to thank Bob and Chris for organizing a tour of Kaymar Creek this morning. The creek drains the easternmost part of south Burnaby. An avid group of Byrne Creek Streamkeepers walked it from Central Park all the way down to the north arm of the Fraser.
Originating in Central Park with two ponds, it must have been a beautiful creek in its day, and while much has been culverted and channeled, there are still a few enchanting areas.
The above photo shows a section in the ravine that was paved into an open storm drain some 30 years ago.
And above is one of the few sections that remains in a mostly natural state.
I don't know how many times Yumi and I have driven across the Kaymar watershed without much thought, however we will now view it with greater awareness.
