Creek Clean-up


Volunteers needed for a creek clean-up next Saturday, November 14th.

The Willow Creek Watershed Society will be repairing riparian habitat damage done by paintballers adjacent to Willow Creek on Saturday, November 14th from 10am-12noon. Park on Jubilee Parkway, north-east of the bridge where Jubilee Parkway crosses Willow Creek (just south of Dogwood towards Highway 19A). Damage includes cutting down small alders, which have been stacked and nailed to trees to create barricades, and digging deep trenches that have exposed the roots of numerous trees. Work involves pulling down the barricades and filling holes with the trees and available fill soil. Some responsible paintballers will also be helping out too. For more information, please call Sandra at #204-2040.

Another reason to get involved -this is a portion of the proposed Greenways Loop project.
