The skies cleared and sun illuminated the first restoration event of the year at Ayum Creek Regional Park Reserve at the end of February. Volunteers worked together to hand-pull the garden escapee, and very invasive, periwinkle (Vinca minor) that blankets some of the forest floor. Since 2017, TLC’s biologist Torrey Archer has been spearheading research, trials, and implementation of a multiyear periwinkle eradication project using the popular lasagna gardening method. Look out for more opportunities to join TLC for volunteer restoration and covenant monitoring activities. Email lbron@conservancy.bc.ca to be added to our volunteer list.
