We will be planting a hedgerow in the Glen Urquhart Creek area to support creek health, provide habitat complexity, enhance biodiversity and all the other benefits that come with planting native species. Jay Baker-French will be leading this activity.
If you are going to volunteer, we ask that you dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, bring a water bottle and gardening gloves (we will have plenty to borrow if you don’t have any or forget yours!).
