Farms, industry, and nature
East from the lower banks of the Seymour River, Maplewood developed with small farms and industry. Its’ proximity to Vancouver allowed easy commerce. Housing, schools, and businesses grew but the area retained elements of nature in the mudflats. The mudflats housed squatters shacks in the 1970s and are home to the Wild Bird Trust today.
