A newly secured land is in need of some assistance! This parcel of land lies along the bank of the North Saskatchewan River, upstream from Big Island Provincial Park in an Environmentally Significant Area. Over the next few years we aim to restore the environmental health of the area, and you can help out by joining us for a day of restoration. At this event we will be stabilizing and planting trees on a loose hill to prevent erosion .
We will meet on location promptly at 9:30 AM, and leave the site by 2:30 PM. The worksite location will be shared with registrants well in advance of the event. We are not advertising the location yet, as we still have a lot of foundational work to do before opening the site fully to the public. The land is in the general vicinity of Bunchberry Meadows, and takes roughly 40 minutes to get to from west Edmonton.
Wear appropriate footwear and long pants, and bring a lunch, water, and a camera or binoculars if you'd like. If you have your own gloves to bring we recommend that you do so, but otherwise tools and gloves will be provided. Additional information will be sent to you several days in advance of the event.
