Join us for a restoration work party at Longfellow Creek GS: Central.
With your help, the Longfellow Creek green space is evolving into a thriving native food forest. We are getting ready for planting season by removing the remaining invasive plants and enjoying the outdoors together. Thankfully, much of the hard work has already been done and now we just need to maintain the area by removing the smaller new growth that has come back. We’ll be focusing on blackberry, ivy, and morning glory, using mostly hand tools and shovels.
Come learn about the importance of invasive plant removal, the established plants we’re saving, and the native species we are preparing to plant. Walk away with pride, knowing your efforts support local ecology, community, and overall good health.
Longfellow Creek is part of a vital urban watershed that beavers and Coho salmon have returned to. If interested, we can dive deeper into the benefits of our restoration efforts and the native plants we’re reintroducing, including: Cedar, Maple, Elderberry, Nootka Rose, Huckleberry, Salmonberry, Ferns, Salal, and much more.
We also welcome collaborative efforts! If you have ideas on ways to make it more fun (music, art, knowledge sharing, etc), please get in touch!
