Taking a wintery walk this weekend? Make Play Clean Go a habit! Common burdock seeds, or burrs, can hitch a ride on pets and clothing. Be sure to remove plant parts and seeds from clothing, boots, gear and pets before AND after leaving trails and recreation areas.

Volunteers have coordinated weed pulls at the park several times, removing over 40 bags of Spotted knapweed! Thank you volunteers for your ongoing contribution to preventing the spread of invasive species!

After an amazing day in nature, one of ISCBC's youth volunteers shared their experience: "Last Saturday, we went to Pacific Spirit Regional Park with our Program Coordinator and three youth members from Metro Vancouver. The park features forests, creeks, beaches and bogs, making it a great place to connect with nature. During our nature walk, we identified many different mushroom and plant species, and shared knowledge about the ecology of the area. One of the highlights of this event was visiting the Camosun Bog, which we learned was a very unique area of marshland under restoration. We also discussed and shared ideas about community engagement and sustainability. It was a great opportunity to spend time outdoors and learn about the environment!" -Diane, ISCBC youth volunteer
