NOTE: This event is
being hosted by the Nature Conservancy of
Canada. To fully
register for this event, you must
also register
through the Nature Conservancy website
.
The Nature Conservancy has placed a cap on the
number of volunteers who can participate.
Bunchberry Meadows is
a 640 acre conservation site that is owned by
the Nature Conservancy of Canada in association
with the Edmonton and Area Land Trust.
Bunchberry Meadows was purchased from 5
families who had previously owned the land, and
a network of
hiking trails that are publicly accessible have
been established on the site.
The Nature Conservancy is seeking volunteers
for October 14th. Volunteers will help plant a
variety of native species around the picnic
site at Bunchberry Meadows, and volunteers will
also plant willow live stakes at another spot
at the property. A guest expert from the U of A
will also be on hand to lend her expertise. The
nature conservancy will provide tools for the
day, as well as snacks and drinks. Volunteers
must bring their own lunch.
EOC Carpool: We will meet at the West Edmonton
Mall overflow parking lot at 9:15, and then
travel from there to Bunchberry Meadows. If you
do not wish to join in on the carpool, you can
also meet up at Bunchberry Meadows at 10 AM.

| Carpool Cost: | |
The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $11.60 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, November 21, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
