Like most organisations, the BLPA had to cease our activities during 2020.  When we were able to resume, we proceeded cautiously, within Metro Vancouver Regional Park and Provincial Health Orders. After developing a COVID-19 safety plan, our work parties looked different from pre-pandemic times: very small groups of existing volunteers, physical distancing, PPE, pre-registration and sanitization protocol.  As provincial health orders eased, we modified our protocols, assessed, and made more adjustments with the goal to ensure that all participants continue to feel safe and comfortable while participating in BLPA activities. 

We are happy to announce that the BLPA is now ready to open our stewardship events to new volunteers.  Did you know, our invasive plant species removal program, also known as “Weedbusters”, began in 2004 which makes it one of the first community group programs to do this important work. 

You do not need any prior experience or knowledge to volunteer. You will learn everything you need to know during the event orientation and there will be experienced volunteers or BLPA DIrectors to answer any questions.

We are starting to organise sessions this month to welcome new volunteers. Please complete the volunteer registration form and our Coordinator will be in touch with details.

We look forward to welcoming you!
