Chickadee Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Chickadee Trail winds through the shaded forest of Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest beneath a canopy of Douglas-fir and alder trees. The easy trail is known for its birdlife, especially chickadees, and offers a quiet walk through one of South Surrey’s best-preserved urban forests. Along this part of the trail you can also spot a large moss-covered boulder dotted with licorice ferns. This is a glacial erratic, a rock carried here thousands of years ago by the glacier that once covered the region before dropping it as the ice retreated.

Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest protects about 140 hectares of coastal forest in Surrey. Around 4 kilomtres of winding trails run beneath a dense canopy of Douglas fir and other native trees, creating a quiet, shaded place for walking and cycling. Despite being surrounded by residential neighbourhoods, the forest feels surprisingly secluded and supports a variety of wildlife, including birds and black-tailed deer. It’s a peaceful green space and one of South Surrey’s most popular nature walks.

Root Rot

Highlight • Forest

This section of the Chickadee Trail shows how the forest is actively managed to protect its health. In 2004, Douglas-fir trees in this area were removed to contain laminated root rot, a disease that spreads through tree roots and causes them to decay. The clearing allowed more sunlight to reach the forest floor, encouraging plants such as salmonberry to thrive. Today the more open understory attracts a variety of birds, including chickadees, wrens, and dark-eyed juncos.
