Dear Brooklyn Creek Volunteers,
We have a fun work party happening next week, and we would love to see you there! A rare opportunity for you to see how Brooklyn Creek meanders through Birkdale Farm in Comox. Help the streamside plantings have better survival rates in the future. Below are the details…
Volunteers are welcome to join us on Tuesday June 16th and Wednesday June 17th from 08:30 am to noon (and for the afternoon as well if interested).
Work anticipated
- Tuesday June 16th: Reach 4: invasive species removal on the mulched area.
- Tuesday June 16th: apply straw on exposed soil where no bark mulch was applied last Fall.
- Wednesday June 17th: Reach 1-3: remove scotch broom before it goes into seeds.
- Wednesday June 17th: Reach 1-3: Flag and clear invasive vegetation around viable native shrubs and trees. “
We will assemble at the gate of the farm at 8:30 AM and proceed as a group to the worksite. Someone will be there to guide you. Address: Birkdale Farm, 1836 Guthrie Road, Comox. Please park along the side of Guthrie Road. Please wear sturdy clothes, gloves and dress for the weather. There will be light refreshments on site. We will provide tools.
Thanks a lot in advance!
