EcoBlitz - Crippen Regional Park, Lagoon Enhancement

Come help plant native species along a sensitive riparian area at Crippen Regional Park!

This conservation zone provides vital habitat for a variety of waterfowl, songbirds, and both adult & juvenile salmonids.
Join us as we plant native tree and shrub species and install protective cages around them to support their successful establishment and increase the biodiversity along the slopes of this valuable riparian ecosystem!

We will provide you with all the information and tools needed for the work we will be doing. This includes eye protection and gloves, although if people prefer to use their own gloves they are welcome to do so. Please arrive dressed for the weather (rain or shine), in clothing that can get dirty, with appropriate footwear. Please bring water bottles and a snack if you tend to get hungry while working. We will provide light snacks and water for refilling water bottles.

A few things to note about the site:
• The site is a 10-minute walk from the Snug Cove Ferry Terminal.
• Those taking a ferry can board the 9:20AM sailing from Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island and board the 12:35PM sailing off island (or stay and enjoy a Saturday on Bowen Island!).
• The site is in a public area, be mindful or sharp or hazardous litter.
• There is a washroom that's about a 10-15 minute walk from our worksite.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns prior to the event.
