So, last Friday I decided to take the dive and start a meet up group focused on getting people outside into our parks throughout the Lower Mainland doing something constructive to conserve the environment!
I contacted a whole bunch of non-profits, charities and Metro Vancouver and arranged 10 events (all the way till Sept 25th 2011) to:
• Pull invasive plants that are overtaking our native flora
• Plant native plants/trees
• Restore areas along a stream, river, marsh or shoreline
• Beach/River/lake clean up
• Harvest organic fruits/veggies
• Trail build/maintenance
• Restore wildlife sites
Planning a picnic and a walk around the park afterwards.
I'm hoping that lots of people will sign up and show up!
