Miraculously, the rain stopped and we had a bright dry morning to be
outside! Olivia Allen from the City of Surrey Urban Forestry Parks Division
met us in West Fraser Heights Park to show us our volunteer area. We have
the job of removing the English Ivy that is choking out the native ferns and
other plants. The kids where all given garden gloves and after given a
safety and plant id lesson, they dived right in ripping out the ivy. They
were excited to be helping and pulling out long vines of ivy. Olivia
thought she may need to get us another project in the park by January with
the way the kids were working! Way to go!
