TOXIC GREEN INVADER ALERT! There is a lot of invasive Daphne laureola growing along Tumbo Channel Road on private and public land. Together we CAN stop it from spreading further. Come one, come all to the July 15th community Daphne Destroying Day.

Meet at 10 am at the shoreline access beside 695 Tumbo Channel Road. Bring gloves & loppers - we will have some to lend to those who need them. Cameraderie, refreshments, and a great sense of accomplishment will be your reward.

If you can't help out on July 15th, please set a date to get out into your own neighbourhood and cut or pull any invasive daphne growing there. Leave it in piles to compost naturally. If you keep up this effort, in just three years new seedlings will stop appearing, and native plants will start growing back. This simple act of stewardship will improve the habitat for native insect, bird, and animal species.

Thank you to everyone on Saturna Island who supports this effort! And thanks to the Saturna Island Parks & Recreation Commission for providing tools & refreshments.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Broom Bash in Winter Cove this Monday (March 30th) 10 am to 1 pm - PLEASE SIGN UP! email [email protected] or comment on this post.

Hi Saturna neighbours, The first yellow flowers are blooming on the invasive Scotch broom. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to help cut back the broom growing in the park reserve at Winter Cove this Monday. If you haven't signed up yet, please do so we can speed up the sign-in process for Parks Canada - and so we know how many snacks and drinks to provide. If you have a pick-up truck, please bring it! Meet up in the GINPR Winter Cove parking lot at 10 am. You can bring loppers and gloves if you have them; we will have tools to lend to those who need them.

For anyone who can't make it this Monday, we are excited to announce another Community Broom Bash is coming up on the last Friday of April. Plan to come out on April 24th to help us clear broom from along East Point Road.
