BLPA Holiday Open House 2025 - Wreath Making Workshop

Come join us for a fun and festive wreath making workshop led by Director Mark. He will guide you through the process, providing all the materials you need to craft a beautiful holiday decoration. No experience is necessary - just bring your creativity and holiday cheer!

The decoration of the wreath will involve locally sourced plant materials like conifer trimmings, windall materials, and educate you on the proper use, display and disposal of invasive materials such as English Ivy and Holly.

LOCATION:

Burnaby Lake Nature House - we will meet in the back of the Nature House by the picnic tables. Look for signs.

Enjoy a warm beverage while you learn about the BLPA, what we do and how you can get involved. Decorate your own Wood Duck Cookie and test your nature knowledge with a trivia question!
