Join us on Sunday June 28 from 1:00 – 2:30pm for a special presentation to celebrate Pollinator Week!

Re-greening Urban Spaces for Our Native Pollinators
Native plants bring native bees, even in the city. Local artist and avid naturalist Jesse Gray will be telling the story of her small urban yard transformation, which over 5 years went from a lifeless expanse of grass, concrete parking pads, and invasive weeds to a home to over 21 genera of native bees, as well as birds, butterflies, beneficial wasps, flower flies and other invertebrates .

Jesse will introduce some of the bees and their behaviours, and talk about what plants they like and why, and how thinking about overall habitat needs, rather than just feeding pollinators with flowers, can make a huge transformation in the diversity of your garden

In short: you can bring wildness to where you are, and re-greening urban spaces, especially with native plants will be an important step towards tending for pollinators into the future.
When: Sunday June 28 1:00pm -2:30pm
Where: Nanaimo Harbourfront Library, Big meeting room.

Join the Friends of Northfield Marsh on Sunday June 28 from 10am - 12pm as we continue with Ivy and Blackberry removal. Tools will be provided.

We will also have an invertebrate exploration for young and old - sift through our tubs of marsh water to see what specimens you can find, and what they might tell us about the Marsh's health and biodiversity. We will have ID guides and microscopes!

We are meeting at the trail kiosk on Mountain Vista Drive.
