McNeely’s Trail is a marshland walk near Westham Island, alongside the Fraser River inlet. The general topography is diverse with walking trails, bird habitats, bridges and rural and urban buildings.
I was drawn to the walking trails and marsh ecologies because they offered quieter opportunities to observe and listen to the landscape and surrounding ecosystems.
