The Park provides recreation and education for all ages. Winding trails with a total length of approximately 5km provide visitors with the opportunity to encounter plants and
animals in bog, forest and pond habitats. The shortest trail, which surrounds a pond, is an elevated boardwalk accessible to wheelchairs. Other trails are soft-surfaced with wood chips. All trails are well-marked,
and a free trail guide is available in the Nature House. The park is always changing. In spring, see and hear the territorial flights of hummingbirds as
bog flowers bloom below. Summer days are long, and the trails provide cool evening walks. Fall brings owls, northern migratory birds, and spectacularly-coloured foliage. In winter, hear varied thrushes and see winter birds at the
feeders, or follow coyote tracks in the snow.

六千年前起,列治文所在的Lulu Island才逐漸在菲沙河口沖積下形成。排水不良的酸性土壤提供凍原苔蘚的生長環境,列治文苔原溼地於是誕生。夏末秋初正是藍莓(Blueberry)成熟的季節,在公園內我們將可看見許多野
生動物,以及苔原溼地特有的植物。
列治文自然公園為列治文最大的市立野生公園,除了苔蘚溼地外,它還擁有一個池塘。公園入口處設有一自
然教室,經常有生態專家為您解答各種問題。你也可以帶您的子女一起參觀該自然教室中許多的陳列展示,或參與有教育意義的生態節目。 |
