Shoreline Restoration Design for Whey-Ah-Wichen/Cates Park

As part of a consultant team led by Hatfield Consultants, LEES+Associates supported the Shoreline Restoration Design for Whey-ah-Wichen/Cates Park on behalf of the District of North Vancouver. Our role focused on the human use and interface aspects of the site and included a desktop review, site assessment and report, climate change analysis, and stakeholder feedback analysis to inform the restoration design and support permit applications.

What stunning aerial views of Beaver Lake!

As work on the restoration plans for Beaver Lake in Vancouver’s Stanley Park continues, the project team was out at the site performing an ecological assessment.

Stewart Denny and Ali Canning from the LEES+Associate team, along with biologist Chris Lee from AquaTerra can be seen in this drone footage wading in the bog. They were also undertaking inspections to complete a conceptual boardwalk alignment for the Beaver Lake Bog.

The project is now moving into detailed design and site preparations are being made in order for project construction to begin this fall.
