Our first public stewardship session of the year! Thank you to the 15 volunteers who came out!

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 tremendous effort was made possible by the support of our Everett Crowley Park Committee members, and the financial support from the @habitatconservationtrust , @naturecanada_ and the Champlain Heights Community Association.
For the next few months, ECPC will be taking a break from public stewardship to focus on, nature education, birds and annul planning! We hope to see you out in the park at our upcoming events!

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!

As always, community member and photographer Richard Luk captured some beautiful photos at our most recent bird walk.
