[Mt. Douglas Park Invasive species removal - call for volunteers]

Hi all!

 

I submitted a CITO event, but it was rejected due to too many "red flags."

 

I will try and resolve these issues, but it will take some time. So it looks like April 20 is CANCELED.

 

If any one is interested, you can still come out individually. We meet Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 10-12.

 

Thanks for your support!

OK, I have been convinced that a CITO event would be a great idea!

 

Landsharkz - thanks for the CITO swag offer. I will definitely take you up on the offer.

 

I am looking to hold the event in about 2 weeks (April 19), but still need to iron out a few details.

 

Thanks for the input!

[Mt. Douglas Park Invasive species removal - call for volunteers]

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.

[Anyone going to Japan soon?]

Thanks for the info! I will try vigps.com

 

Cheers!

[Anyone going to Japan soon?]

Is anyone going to Japan soon, leaving from Victoria BC? I have a new TB that I would like to land in Japan. I setup this TB as a geography/culture lesson for my daughter who is really interested in Japan.

 

Thanks!

[Is this an innapropriate theme for a cache?]

Great idea! Caching with a political message.

That it! Thanks jrav.

 

I would have never found it, except someone didn't rehide it very well. It is always exciting to accidentally find a cache.

 

This was my first letterbox. Cool!

I found this letterbox cache by accident on Mt. Tolmie (Victoria BC) this afternoon while looking for another geocache.

 

Anyone know more information about it?
