Thanks to the help of 82 volunteers who put in 253 hours across 4 public planting events, we managed to get all 2,000 plants donated from the @vanparkboard in the ground.

This Saturday we held our second planting at Avalon Pond. We were joined by 25 volunteers who made quick work of the planting! This site has been completely transformed in just over a year from invasive blackberry to a biodiverse understory of Indigenous species. Thanks to donated plants from the @vanparkboard , we planted, two species of willow, bunchberry, bracken fern, lady fern and red osier dog wood. We were happy to be joined by Vancouver Park Board Commissioner Tom Digby at the end of our session to share the restoration work we have been doing! Our fall planting events have been made possible by funding from @naturecanada_ bird friendly cities grant, the @habitatconservationtrust community grant and the Champlain Heights Community Association. Thanks to volunteer Veronica Stamm for these amazing photos!

As always, community member and photographer Richard Luk captured some beautiful photos at our most recent bird walk. On a sunny Sunday morning, the park was alive with birds big and small. It was great to see three eagles flying low, the Blue Listed Great Blue Heron using the Avalon Pond for a nap, and the Anna’s Hummingbirds establishing their winter homes! 1. Bald Eagle 2.

Lots of smiling faces, braving the rain, and getting stuck into our first 2025 Fall planting! With the help of 18 volunteers we planted over 200 Indigenous plants today at our Avalon Pond site. Planting is a great time to come together, celebrate the work we have done to prepare the site, share food, connect with the land and give something back! This is the first session of many fall planting events, so if you missed out, find more dates via the link in our bio. We would love to extend a huge thank you to the organisations who have supported and funded these planting events: @vanparkboard , @champlainheightscc (CHCA), @naturecanada_ and @habitatconservationtrust .

Last week we ran an intro to water monitoring session in Everett Crowley Park! Thanks to the Community Grant from @habitatconservationtrust we were able to purchase a @the_waterrangers kit. This is a user friendly kit to get baseline information such as dissolved oxygen and pH. This is a great way to connect with the water and find out more about what is going on in the Everett Crowley Park Ecosystem!

Thank you to @earthandcompany as always for leading a beautiful plant walk in Everett Crowley Park. Lori’s knowledge and ways of seeing showed us to open up to what is directly around us, and encouraged us to rethink how we interact with natural landscapes, especially the ones here in our backyard! Every plant and animal can teach us something, from the Pacific chorus frog, to the Douglas fir trees to the roses! Thank you to Lori and to everyone who spent their afternoon in the park with us! We were fortunate enough to have funding from the @habitatconservationtrust to fund this Indigenous led walk, along with many other events happening this fall!
