Thumbs up, volunteers! Click to enlarge.
Activities will include planting native shrub species. Plants will be in 1-gallon pots (<10lbs) and will be planted with shovels along the bank, where there is some mud and uneven ground. People with mobility limitations may be paired up with someone to help them plant, bring plants and prepare the ground.
We recommend bringing work gloves, weather appropriate wear, good work shoes or boots and some snacks. We would also really appreciate if anyone has a shovel that they could bring and work with. We have several to share but may be limited if we have a good turnout.
All activity at Birkdale Farm, 1836 Guthrie Road, Comox. Park and meet on Guthrie Road. Google Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/X96eWjkoFnuWdakY6

Yes, don’t forget our AGM will be on the same Tuesday, Oct. 15th, 4 PM at the Marina. Many thanks for your help with Brooklyn Creek!
