Spring Stewardship at Burnaby Lake

Time to roll up your sleeves! Here are upcoming stewardship opportunities at Burnaby Lake.

Help the Burnaby Lake Weedbusters at the Butterfly Garden

Join us as we tidy up the Butterfly Garden in anticipation of the Forest Fairy Gathering on the May long weekend. We’ll focus on clearing the paths so people can walk through the garden as well as away from the fence so the staff parking area isn’t obstructed. Any debris created will be disposed of on the compost pile behind the Nature House.

We will meet in front of the Nature House. Tool and safety training will be provided.

This event will be limited to 6 volunteers.

Help the Burnaby Lake Weedbusters at the Lenson Wildflower Meadow!

We are expanding our native wildflower meadow! BLPA volunteers will weed out any invasive vegetation regrowth in the covered expansion area around the existing meadow, particularly any Creeping Buttercup, then spread a layer of new soil over the expansion area and sow some native seeds there.

We will meet at the Lenson Garage. Tools and training will be provided.

This event will be limited to 15 volunteers.

It’s hard to believe but it’s time for our two final Weedbusters work parties for 2024!

October Stewardship Opportunities
