Broom Bash Countdown

The annual Greenways Broom Bash is this Sunday, April 25th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the BMX Track on Homewood Road.

The location is especially important to preserving Nunns Creek Park's ecosystem and reclaiming a recreational resource for the community. This is a chance for residents to reduce anthropogenic impacts to our local environment through removing foreign invasive plant species in this volunteer effort for Earth Week. Scotch Broom was introduced to Vancouver Island during the 19th Century and continues to flourish due to increasing land development and other human activities. Greenways Land Trust and Tim Hortons will be hosting this event for the 11th year in a row, offering volunteers tools, T-shirts, Timbits and fresh coffee in return for their hard work. See you Sunday.
