Just more than one week left for the community to help create the Community Stewardship Basecamp in Everett Crowley Park!
What could a home for stewardship and community look like in the park?
We’re working to transform a simple shipping container into a solar-powered, in-park hub for stewardship equipment and community programming. By bringing the tools to the trees, volunteers can spend less time hauling equipment and more time restoring habitat, removing invasive species, and caring for the land.
Our community goal is to raise $5,000 by World Environment Day on June 5.
Learn more about the project and how contributions are handled on our donation page.
Please give today!

A great day for stewardship! 🌿
On Saturday, volunteers worked delicately around the Indigenous plants planted last fall to remove invasive species regrowth.
It is one of the great joys of spring to watch the Indigenous plants, planted by 100s of volunteers, thrive in Everett Crowley Park!

Happy Earth Day!
Thank you for your hard work in making Everett Park the biodiverse hotspot it is today!
While you’ve read about the ongoing critical hands-on stewardship work, there is a challenge behind the scenes that you may not know about. We often lose a quarter of our stewardship time hauling gear back and forth from the community centre to the park, so I wanted you to know how we plan to permanently bring the tools to the trees.
Recently an exciting opportunity has arisen for the Champlain Heights Community Association to create a storage facility in Everett Crowley Park itself, we are making plans to transform a simple shipping container into a secure, custom-built, solar-powered stewardship hub for the heart of the park. We are going to build a Community Stewardship Basecamp!
Donate today to help make this community hub a reality.

Thank you to the 23 participants who joined our bird walk this month!
We love how these events are a great place to meet new people and to learn from each other, so thank you all for contributing your knowledge and experience!
We saw some classic spring highlights including, Yellow Rumpled Warblers and Rufous Hummingbirds, as well as our year round friends such as song sparrows and towhees!
Missed this month? Join us next month for a special world migratory bird day event! Check out ecpcstewards.ca to find out more!

Need inspiration of which spots to visit in Everett Crowley Park? Check out our new map at ecpcstewards.ca.
A huge thank you to Stephanie, our website design volunteer, for putting together this map of the park! Stephanie is a huge leader of our new website and has put many of the pages together to help share ECPC’s work!
This is proof that not all environmental stewards are found in the park, our volunteers who work behind the scenes really help to keep ECPC thriving! Do you have skills to offer? Reach out to us at ecpcstewards@gmail.com!
Who is excited about spring migration?!! We know our bird volunteers are because we had a big turn out for our April Bird Survey last weekend!
Our surveys run every month, and we now have over a year’s worth of data on the bird species using our stewardship areas.
A highlight this month was seeing the Barred owl (swipe to see if you can spot it!).
Want to learn more about the birds that have just arrived from their long migration? Join our bird walk this Sunday!
Join our four amphibian surveys!

A beautiful spring day for stewardship!
17 volunteers got their hands dirty removing invasive English ivy at our Fern Gully site.
We worked around indigenous Osoberry to give it space and light so that it can thrive!
As always, our awesome volunteer Silvia provided a great lunch, giving us a time to pause and reflect on the work we had done and significance of stewarding this lush urban forest!
Our first dogs and frogs event was a success!
We were please to be joined by special doggy guest boomerang!
We heard pacific chorus frogs, looked for salamanders and visited some of ECPC’s stewardship sites focused on amphibian restorations! We were also lucky enough to see a vole - swipe for to see our furry friend!
Thank you to our amazing educator and nature expert Cole for leading this event!

Thank you to those who came out to our environmental stewardship session this Saturday! We put the finishing touches on our natural fence and removed invasive Himalayan Blackberry!
This fence is a beautiful example of cyclical restoration. With the guidance of experienced weavers, Joe Boyd and Willoughby Arevalo, we turned invasive English Ivy -removed from our site - into a sculptural fence. This fence will help protect our newly planted Indigenous species from trampling whilst they have time to establish and thrive!
This project was made possible with funding from @habitatconservationtrust .
