Working Together - Sandy Hook Community Association/Sechelt Community Projects Inc.
Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada
Explore the Grove with us.
Working under a mandate from the District of Sechelt the Sandy Hook Community Association Hidden Grove Committee was directed to prepare a development concept plan for that area of District Lot 3006 known as Hidden Grove or Block 350.
On November 6, 2002 the original work of the committee was basically completed with a presentation to the District of Sechelt council. Since that time there has been steady progress in gaining protection for the area and in developing it as special asset for today and future generations. The Sechelt Community Forest has confirmed that NO logging will take place in the Grove for the entire length of their tenure.
With that great commitment we have moved to change this website from one battling to save the Grove to one cooperating with all parties to develop the Grove's asset's for all.

FOR AUGUST - Hidden Grove on SCRD Summer Hiking Series
June 12/09 - Your committee met with Brian Smart of SCPI at the Grove for a short walkabout to show the proposed and approved parking lot area and discuss design and markings. Brian offered materials to assist in laying out the lot and also a Clinometer for helping the further layout of the handicap trail.
The alternate route to the view point was also reviewed and seemed the best route to make the main one in the future.
A general consensus seemed to be reached on all that was discussed.
