This week we head to Delta Nature Reserve, a small portion of land located in Burns Bog. Burns Bog is a 3,500 hectares large peat bog located in the city of Delta, BC. The bog is mostly off limits to public access because of safety and conservation reasons, but a small portion of land called the Delta Nature Reserve (about 60 hectares in size) is open to the public. The nature reserve contains numerous trails and boardwalks for people to traverse and observe the plants and animals within the area. We visited the nature reserve way back in November 2017 after some light snowfall and the area was covered with a thin layer of white powder. We took random trails and saw different views at the nature reserve.

The thin layer of snow make it look more pretty.

It was autumn and some trees still have their leaves.

It seemed like the snow were blooming from the top of the bushes.

A narrow trail.

Alex Fraser Bridge connecting city of New Westminster and city of Delta can be seen in the backgroun.

A lot of boardwalks were built in the nature reserve for the safety of visitors.

Entering the woods. Not as much snow accumulation here.

Continuing on trail.

Small wooden bridge crossing a creek.

Quite a few sections of the trails were flooded like this. We navigated our way around the flooded trails and eventually had to turn around because of too much flooding.
