Second Annual ECOBLITZ

October 18, 2015 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

EcoBlitz at Burnaby Lake

Eco stewardship activities are happening across several Metro Vancouver Regional Parks during the week of October 17-25th.

The Weedbusters have been hard at work over the years making great progress at ridding the park of ivy and other invasive plants.

Wear sturdy footwear as we’ll be stepping off the trails, and dress appropriate for the weather conditions of the day. Gloves, tools, and snacks will all be provided, just bring your enthusiasm and industrious attitude!

We are clearing a site of invasive ivy and blackberry near the east end of Burnaby Lake Regional Park as first step in a restoration and enhancement plan.

By volunteering at this event, you will receive invitations to two special Metro Vancouver appreciation events:

  • Sunday, October 25thEcoBlitz Wrap Up BBQ*
  • Saturday, November 7th – Fall Parksfest*
    A day of learning via workshops and speakers, and making connections with others who care about and support regional parks.

(*Not held at Burnaby Lake Regional Park) 

This is a great opportunity for your local community group to come out and contribute to your local environment with others who care about the park. Scouts, Guides, Church, work groups – get in touch with us at info@BurnabyLakePark.ca.

If you can let us know if you can make it, it will help us with our planning for equipment and snacks.

3 ways you can RSVP:
– via the  Facebook event page
– if  you are a MeetUp member
– or via email at info@burnabylakepark.ca

See our Facebook event page for more photos from last year’s event.
