Broughton Hall, 400 Centre Rd, Lions Bay, BC V0N 2E0
When:
Sunday, March 2nd, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Who:
Everyone is welcome—bring your friends and family!
What to Expect:
We’ll be working together with the Butterflyway Project to remove English ivy from areas near the village office.
Around 11:30 am, we’ll take a break and join a special workshop where we’ll learn how to repurpose ivy vines into beautiful handwoven baskets—a creative and sustainable way to use invasive plant materials.
Why Remove English Ivy?
English ivy is an aggressive, evergreen climbing vine that threatens our environment by forming dense monocultures that outcompete native species.
Its rapid growth not only disrupts local ecosystems but also causes structural damage as it climbs and spreads over buildings, trees, and other infrastructure.
What to Bring:
- A packed lunch
- Gardening gloves and tools (if you have them – we have some you can borrow!)
- Enthusiasm for making a difference!
