At first glance, you might think that there's no shortage of trees in Gros Morne National Park. But there's actually been a decline in their numbers over the past few decades - largely because of over-grazing by moose. Now, the park is on a mission to plant hundreds of thousands of new trees. The CBC's Sanuda Ranawake was in Gros Morne last Thursday.

On Monday we heard concerns about a trail closure in Gros Morne National Park. The Wallace Brook sections of trail were closed several years ago when the Green Gardens trail was re-routed. Green Gardens trail is between Woody Point and Trout River. But experienced hikers have still used the old trail, which had experienced erosion and had not been repaired. Recently, Parks Canada issued a notice that people will face a fine if they trespass on the closed trail or on 30 metres on either side of it. On Monday, local resident and tourism operator Becky O'Keefe said she is worried that the same thing could happen to other trails. For reaction, we contacted Rob Hingston, visitor experience product development officer at Gros Morne National Park.

If you're looking for somewhere to hike in Gros Morne, Parks Canada can tell you one place NOT to go. The national park announced earlier this month that part of the old Green Gardens trail is not only re-routed, it's closed and off-limits. In fact, the park says there's a 150-dollar fine for trespassing on the Wallace Brook section of trail. That doesn't sit well with experienced hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts, and they worry they could be banned from more trails in the future. Becky O'Keefe is a long-time resident of Bonne Bay, a tourism operator, and a volunteer with the Gros Morne Hiking Festival.

Hear about travel to Newfoundland and Labrador as the Amateur Traveler talks to Bri Mitchell from travelingmitch.com based on the summer they spent in this less visited Canadian province. Why should you go to Newfoundland and Labrador? Bri says, "It is a very vast, wide, and open province. It has extremely warm people very enticing outdoor adventures really incredible opportunities to get out onto the water and explore different parts of the Atlantic Ocean. And specifically today, I want to talk a little bit about Western Newfoundland and Labrador, so starting in the western coast and making your way up towards Labrador." "It's larger than many countries. I think I was looking up It's a square kilometer area, and it's larger than Japan, Germany, and Finland. A lot of people think of Eastern Canada as being small and little towns and not a lot to explore. But when you think about its size, Newfoundland and Labrador as a province is very expansive. So it's a great place to go if you enjoy a road trip if you enjoy taking in nature. Many kilometers in a day, which this trip will entail and it's just a really wonderful place to get outside and really embrace nature." Bri recommends a comprehensive seven-day itinerary for exploring Newfoundland and Labrador, focusing primarily on Western Newfoundland and briefly touching upon Labrador. Here's the itinerary she suggests: Day 1: Arrival at Deer Lake Fly into Deer Lake Regional Airport, rent a car, and drive to Gros Morne National Park. Stay in Woody Point, a small town in Gros Morne, and dine at local restaurants like the Backroom Cafe or Merchant Warehouse. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-newfoundland-and-labrador/ Learn more about your ad choices.
