Glenbrook Ravine Planting 2023

November 8, 2023

Our final event at Glenbrook Ravine for 2023 was a huge success! We had 26 people join us on a brilliantly sunny Saturday to plant 214 native species at the ravine. Along with some familiar shrub and tree species planted in previous years such as Big leaf maple and Thimbleberry, we planted plenty of new species such as Mock orange, Pacific bleeding heart, Fringe cup, and more!

It was also ISCMV Executive Director, Tasha Murray's, last day as a project coordinator at the ravine, so we celebrated her hard work with this project by throwing a small send-off party. Thank you to ISCMV and to Tasha for all your contributions to the Glenbrook Ravine Restoration Project, and a huge thank you to Neighbourhood Small Grants for helping fund Tasha’s much-deserved send off!

A big thank you the City of New Westminster Community Grants for providing funding to this community project, to New Westminster Environmental Partners for their endless support, and of course to all our volunteers who helped out at the ravine this year – this couldn’t have happened without your enthusiasm and passion for preserving this amazing greenspace!
