We wanted to express our gratitude to the efforts of our volunteers, including our Board of Directors. They put in over 2300 hours of volunteer time in 2022 – from hands-on stewardship and outreach, to strategic planning, meetings and administration, showing their passion for nature and dedication to the BLPA and Burnaby Lake Regional Park. THANK YOU!
Be a champion for native plants! We are taking advantage of our temperate climate (compared to most of Canada) and starting out Weedbusters 2023 season earlier than we have in the past.
All are welcome – whether you are a seasoned or a new volunteer who is keen to roll up their sleeves and help nature. You will learn about the BLPA, how we work with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, why your contribution to our work is important, how to identify invasive species that have become established and replaced native species and how to safely remove them. Join a fun group of people who care for the environment of Burnaby Lake Regional Park.
See you in the park!
It was wonderful to have the opportunity to speak with host Gloria Macarenko of CBC Our Vancouver. A recent episode featured parks and the importance of nature in our lives. It was great to be able to tell her about the birds, wildlife and the community of volunteers who help protect Burnaby Lake Regional Park.
This segment was filmed in February when show was on hiatus during the Olympics. It was a grey day, but always lots to see and hear, whatever the weather.
Longtime part goers may recall some of the arhcival photos they shared and can see how the park has changed from the original footage.
