Tree Canada's National Tree Day Stewardship Event in Victoria

Tree Canada, in collaboration with the District of Saanich, is excited to celebrate National Tree Day (NTD), presented by BMO. This is the biggest NTD celebration yet, with events taking place across the country during National Forest Week. Join us at Peacock Hill Park, a Garry Oak Meadow to participate in the removal of english ivy and other invasive species. You'll be guided by Tree Canada experts and experienced volunteers who will be on hand to support you and answer your questions. We’ll provide gloves and tools—all you need to bring is your enthusiasm!

This free event will support local biodiversity by removing invasive species to restore the Garry oak meadow.

This is a catered event! Volunteers can grab a snack and beverage, courtesy of Starbucks.

Volunteers should wear and bring the following:

• Water bottle
• Sturdy, closed-toe shoes or boots
• Long pants
• Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing
• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• Hat
• Hand sanitizer

This rain or shine event will take place unless the forecast calls for thunderstorms or very heavy rainfall.

We look forward to planting with you!
