SUMMARY:Ayum Creek Conservation Covenant Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Join TLC at our Ayum Creek Covenant\, the hidden gem of the Sooke Basin! This gorgeous salmon-bearing stream and estuary is 7 hectares of Capital Regional District (CRD) Park Reserve which is the southwest anchor for the Sea to Sea Green/Blue Belt established by CRD Parks. This year TLC will be mapping areas where invasive species in the park have established. Expect to traverse across the rocky streambed and measure out areas of scotch broom while taking in beautiful views of the estuary and nesting Purple Martins. \nLearning opportunities: Species identification\, invasive species management\, repeat photography protocols\, wetland ecosystem functions\, orienteering\, bushwhacking\, covenant monitoring protocols\, mapping and more. \nRegistration is required. Please let us know if you would like to join by sending TLC’s Environmental Technician Karen Iwachow an email at kiwachow@conservancy.bc.ca with the subject line: Ayum Creek Monitoring Volunteer. \nWe ask that volunteers be comfortable hiking for two to six hours both on and off trail (bushwhacking)\, with a full backpack containing water\, lunch and any personal needs. We are often in areas where washroom facilities are not available. We are hiking in uneven terrain where slips\, trips and falls are possible. Please take caution while walking through steep and unmaintained terrain. Please note that TLC staff are trained in First Aid and carry a kit. \nWe encourage carpooling to reduce our carbon footprint. Please indicate if you are interested in carpooling with other volunteers. TLC can provide rides for up to three people in TLC’s car.

SUMMARY:Atkins Road Conservation Covenant Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:TLC holds a conservation covenant on Capital Regional District’s (CRD) Park Reserve which sits between the Galloping Goose Trail and Millstream Creek near Mill Hill Regional Park. The 2 hectare protected area features a beautiful Garry Oak savanna above the riparian area and creek. We will start the trek from Atkins Road and walk down to the creek to observe and record the invasive species present. Last year TLC reported and removed Policeman’s Helmet (Impatiens glandulifera) from the stream. We will also check out the restoration site where TLC\, the CRD and Greater Victoria Green Team have been working on removing Aaron’s beard (a.k.a. St. John’s wort)\, which has been degrading the Garry Oak habitat. As well\, we will be conducting repeat photography\, a method to track ecosystem changes over time at our established sites. \nWe will be staying on the maintained trails and expect a 1 km round trip with a light elevation change of 30 meters as we trek down and up the creek. Pack plenty of water\, a lunch and appropriate clothes for the weather. \nLearning opportunities: Species identification\, invasive species management\, repeat photography protocols\, riparian and Garry oak ecosystem functions\, orienteering\, covenant monitoring protocols\, mapping and more. \nRegistration is required. Please let us know if you would like to join by sending TLC’s Environmental Technician Karen Iwachow an email at kiwachow@conservancy.bc.ca with the subject line: Atkins Road Monitoring Volunteer. \nWe ask that volunteers be comfortable hiking for two to six hours both on and off trail (bushwhacking)\, with a full backpack containing water\, lunch and any personal needs.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Covenant Monitoring at TLC's Sea to Sea Regional Park Covenant
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2017\, a one hectare piece of this park experienced a wildfire.
