New Brighton Park
New Brighton Park, at the foot of the Second Narrows Bridge, was a collaborative effort by Port Metro Vancouver and the City of Vancouver to restore coastal shoreline habitat which promotes productive habitat for juvenile fish, wildlife and birds.
GLE provided expertise and in the form of skilled labour and site management to Inlailawatash Limited Partnership, installing 45,000 native plants and salt marsh species in designated areas of the 1.5 hectare site.
A shortened planting timeline and hot summer establishment period was overcome utilizing a temporary irrigation system to maximize plant survival. GLE continues to provide ongoing maintenance and monitoring for long term site health.
