The Friends of Mount Douglas Park are looking for volunteers to help remove invasive species from Mt. Douglas Park (Victoria, BC). Currently, we are tackling Garlic Mustard which has taken a firm foothold in the park. The challenge is to remove as much as possible before the plant flowers. A single garlic mustard plant can produce hundreds of seeds.
Some information on Garlic Mustard can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garlic_mustard
Fortunately, the plant is easy to remove. We just need people to help. All tools will be provided.
We meet on Thursday and Sunday from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. If you are interested, please meet at the Glendenning parking lot at 9:50 am.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Mark (mcacovic@gmail.com) or Judy Spearing (jandd_spearing@shaw.ca).
And while you are in the park, you can search for the many, many caches hidden here!
Thank you.
