Saturday, September 9th, 2017

Join the SMWS and Saanich Native Plants in seeding native wildflowers at the Somenos Marsh Open Air Classroom. We are working on improving the biodiverstiy of the Somenos Marsh Conservation Area by removing exotic invasive plants and introducing native species that are adapted to the gravelly meadow habitat near the parking lot. (First pullout after Beverly Corners heading north on highway).

We will be preparing the site by raking and hand weeding then spreading a native wildflower mix that will germinate in the spring. We will also do a nature walk if time permits!

Please dress for the weather and bring water.

We will provide tools, snacks and drinks.

For more information or to RSVP please contact Elizabeth at [email protected] or 250-884-0749.
