EcoBlitz – TD Tree Days 2019

Join the Burnaby Lake Park Association and folk from the TD Tree Days organization in the Metro Vancouver EcoBlitz as we continue work to rehabilitate the forest edge near the Cariboo Dam in an area we are calling the Lenson Field. The first EcoBlitz was held in 2014 and was a one day event across the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks System to give an opportunity for the community to lend a helping hand to nature and show a little extra love to our Regional Park.

Again this year, we are grateful to TD Tree Days for awarding the grant used to fund the purchase of the native species being planted. To find out more about TD Tree Days, click here.

On October 20, we are enlarging the area we planted 2018. Those of you who have been out to Weedbusters at the site this summer have made this planting possible by preparing the site. Join us as we plant native species and clean up any wayward weeds if needed. Remember to dress for the weather, wear sturdy and water proof shoes or boots, rain pants, jackets and a hat if needed. We’ll provide the gloves, tools and snacks! Ages 8+

Please register at this link so we can plan to have enough tools and refreshments. Please RSVP by the end of the day on Thursday, October 17th to let us know you’re coming.

Keep an eye on our social media closer to the event so you can be kept up to date with any changes due to weather or for any additional information.

If you have any questions, please contact Ann at info@burnabylakepark.ca.
