Cathedral Grove partially closed



Cathedral Grove will be closed until Spring after last month’s windstorm tore through the park.
Starting today, the north side parking and trail area will be closed to the public and is anticipated to reopen in mid-March.
Parks personnel will be fixing fences, and installing a new boardwalk after dozens of trees fell in the popular park.
The north side has groves of ancient western red cedar, while the south side of the park has the largest Douglas firs, with one measuring more than nine metres in circumference.
No word on how many of the giant trees fell victim to last months storm.
While thousands of visitors stop and visit the park each day in summer, dozens still explore the trails through the winter months as well.
