RDN looks for feedback on Englishman River park management plan 

The Regional District of Nanaimo is seeking public feedback on a new Englishman River Regional Park management plan that will guide how the park is managed over the next 20 years. 

An online survey is open until April 26 on the RDN website. The plan is expected to be finalized in the winter. 

Englishman River Regional Park is a 207-hectare park near Parksville that provides recreation opportunities and protects an ecologically significant river corridor. 

“Lands within the park are owned by the Province of BC, The Nature Trust of BC, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada,” reads a news release from the RDN. “The RDN manages these lands on behalf of the landowners, currently guided by the 2009-2014 Englishman River Regional Park Management Plan.” 

A drop-in open house is scheduled for April 18 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Top Bridge parking lot on Allsbrook Road in Parksville.
