 Farms and residents along Bertrand Creek benefit from free soil testing and improving creek health.
Dave Melnychuk, LANGLEY, BC – Improving the environment has never been a more important topic. Farmers and residents of Langley and Aldergrove have an easy way to make a difference both on their own properties and to Bertrand Creek. This creek, which connects to a variety of other waterways and runs south of the border to the Nooksack River, is actually a travel route for endangered fish and is a measure of the environmental health of the region.

Wetlands Threatened by Expanding Industustrial Developments on Langley and Abbotsford Border5/7/2019  Brit Gardner - I went for a Langley walk yesterday along the West Creek headwaters, in Gloucester Industrial Estates. Close to where I grew up. Thanks to the beavers, these wetlands are a beautiful, thriving, and complete ecosystem. The creek headwaters are home to salmon spawning, geese, ducks, rare and migratory birds, rabbits, and countless other wildlife.

 Image - Submitted A brand new industrial Mushroom composting business named Avina Fresh Produce Ltd. and H.Q. Mushroom Farm Ltd. located at 28310 – 58th Ave in west Bradner is emitting a foul odour. Neighbouring residents say that if they leave windows open in the night, toxic fumes and unpleasant odours waft in. Because of of Bradner's unique location, wind-less nights draw in a Pacific Ocean fed 'marine layer' that forms over the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) area, and traps concentrations of any toxins or off-gasses beneath this layer at ground level.
