Discovery Park - Spruce Island: Weeds and …02/11/2026

Activities

Weeding can be a perfect opportunity for new weeds to colonize the disturbed soil, but we are going to counteract this contradiction by spreading some fast-growing native seeds such as lupine, mugwort, cow parsnip and gumweed as well as some shade loving seeds like fringecup, sanicle, and bigleaf avens. This will have the added benefit of shading out blackberry as they grow. We also have some cedar trees to plant.

All ages OK

9 out of 12 participants registered.

What to Bring
