Spend some time in the country at beautiful Derby Reach Regional Park and do a good deed for Metro Vancouver Parks.
This is a work party but it is also a social event to meet and pull Scotch Broom with other geocachers.
Join the BC Geocaching Association and the Metro Vancouver Geocachers
for an official
CITO Event Saturday, March 29 Derby Reach Regional Park
1:00 PM SHARP - 3:30PM
This will not be a garbage pick up, we will be removing Scotch Broom - an invasive species.
No experience necessary, instructions will be provided by parks staff
Metro Vancouver Parks has set up this work party for geocachers (though they may have one or two other people) so lets show our support for the great parks and trails they provide for the enjoyment of us and others. This is the 3rd session we have had, the other two were a lot of fun.
Meet in the parking lot of the Heritage Area (not the camping area) on Allard Crescent at 1:00 PM SHARP.
Metro Vancouver Parks staff will give us instructions on what we will be doing, along with an interesting history of the park and its natural features. There will be waivers for us to sign
We will then take a short (5 to 8 minute) walk to the site we will be working at.
This is a family friendly event but obviously children will need to be under the supervision of an adult. As we will be working it is not appropriate to bring pets.
