Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Valley on the Port Hills.
Recreation tracks forced to close temporarily
Unusually high rain and snow levels during May have
forced the temporary
closure of all recreation tracks
that start and exit the Bowenvale
Valley on the Port
Hills.
Walking, running and mountain biking in this area
can contribute to
track erosion when its very wet, which
increases sediment run-off into
the valley stream.
As
well, a short, privately owned section of the track is used
to feed
cattle during winter. The owners have requested
that no access be
granted through their land while they
are feeding at this level as hay
is getting mixed up in
the mud and wasted.
The closure will be lifted when the
landowners can feed stock on higher
grounds and when
there is a general improvement of the tracks.
All entrance
and exit points are clearing marked indicating the
closure
and the reasons
why.
