PSPS EcoTeam Work Party

Come join Pacific Spirit Park Society’s (PSPS) EcoTeam this Saturday to participate in some hands-on environmental restoration! We are starting work at a new location along Imperial Trail to remove the invasive species Himalayan blackberry to restore the forest.
Saturday November 7th, 2026 from 12:30pm - 3:30pm

Tools and gloves will be provided. Please bring sturdy boots and dress for the weather as we will be getting dirty rain or shine! Long pants are highly recommended as there are prickly plants on site.
Snacks and refreshments will be served halfway through during our break but we ask that you bring water to stay hydrated while you are working.
Under 19?: Please make sure to have our Parent or Guardian Permission Form signed and returned to us via email.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

About the Site:
We are returning to a site that EcoTeam had worked on several years ago. Geotextile was laid down to inhibit regrowth of invasive plants like Himalayan blackberry. In Fall 2025, the area was densely planted with native trees and bushes. We will now be clearing the area between this ecologically restored area and the tree line that has been invaded by Himalayan blackberry.

Please RSVP to attend.

Meet-up location info: New Location!!! Meet at the Pacific Spirit Regional Park info kiosk at the Imperial trailhead where Imperial drive turns into 29th ave (Near King Edward) at 12:30 sharp. We will then walk to the work site, 60 meters West down Imperial Trail.
There is a public washroom and a bike rack on site.
If you are coming by vehicle there is parking along 29th ave next to the park and on King Edward ave. Please make sure to read the street signs to avoid a ticket.
There is a sharp turn on Imperial Drive, If you are being dropped off please do not stop on Imperial Drive, turn onto King Edward Ave or Doncaster Way to unload.
