Be a champion for native plants!
Join us in tackling and removing invasive species: non-native plants that have become established and replaced native species around Burnaby Lake.
We’ll provide gloves, tools, and snacks. Dress for the weather, solid footwear for uneven or marshy terrain, and possibly trekking through brush to get to a work site. Ages 8+.
*If you are driving, park in the Burnaby Lake Avalon Parking Lot off Cariboo Road and meet across the road from the MV Parks Central Area Office.
*If you are taking the #101 bus, walk up Avalon and you will see the BLPA flag to your right, across from the Central Area Office.
Today are continuing to prepare the the site for a native planting in the Fall. We’ll be removing Policemen’s Helmet, English Ivy and Holly as we prepare Learn about the impact of invasive species and efforts to restore the lake environment.
