New Project Announcement! Plaza Lighting.
The ABSL (Arboretum and Botanical Society of Langley) is pleased to acknowledge Community Grant funding from the Township of Langley for safety improvements at Derek Doubleday Arboretum. With the grant monies, the ABSL has purchased low voltage lighting that is being installed by Cobra Lighting at the entrance to the Rotary Interpretive Center at Derek Doubleday Arboretum. This project was made possible by the Township of Langley Community Grant funds and the volunteers of the ABSL. The low voltage lighting will increase the safety of the walkway connection to the building from the parking lot.
