The Sunday, March 8th New Brighton work party from 11:45 am – 2:30 pm (which now includes sign in plus tea and treat time at end) will focus clipping as much blackberry cane in areas on the west side of New Brighton Park & Port property before blackberry cane removal has to stop on March 12th to avoid bird nesting disturbance.

 

The New Brighton Biodiversity Enhancement’s project goal is to remove invasive monoculture plant species and replace them with a variety of native perennial herbaceous flowers and shrubs to promote greater biodiversity of insects, other pollinators, birds and animal life.

 

For more information on the project or to RSVP please email newbrighton@naturevancouver.ca. Your RSVP (ideally by the day before the actual work party) helps us to plan the provision of adequate gloves, tools and treats to share at the end of each 2 hour work party.
