Location: New Brighton Park, 2980-2990 Commissioner Street, Vancouver

The Sunday, July12th New Brighton work party from 8:45 am – 11:30 (which now includes sign in plus tea & treat time at end) will focus on clipping and clearing around native flowers and shrubs we have planted over the last years as well as watering as many as we can. Additionally we will continue pulling Purple Vetch and Morning Glory (bindweed) on the west side of New Brighton Park & the Port strip next to the park.  Vetch and bindweed are a particular problem winding around planted native plants and essentially strangling them.

The New Brighton Biodiversity Enhancement’s project’s 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.
