It has been raining those days I wasn’t motivated to take new trails around but I managed to record two loops since last week and I updated them today. They’re located west of the Beaver Pond Park. The two entrances are just across the parking area (that I also added to the map) on Goulboum Forced Rd. There are more trails there but I’m taking the larger loops and not-so-wet paths. I’m not sure if it will be convenient map every side trail in that area, but I think I will. Unfortunately, those trails are marked to be vanished as development in the area advances against the woods. That area is marked as for development and they will be gone in few years as what happened with the woods north of the Beaver Pond. I roughly contoured the area to mark the clear cut and update the map. If the development is inevitable, at least my hope is it should take 20 years or so.

Yesterday I started mapping the trails built in the South March Highlands Protected area. I collected some gpx data to plan my trips to collect my own data, that’s the fun part. Today I worked reducing the recently developed area, on the same region, where the natural wooden area were drastically reduced. That breaks my heart seeing such rich ecosystem shrinking year after year.
