Volunteers came out in full force on Earth Day (April 22) to Broomhill Park in Sooke to take out invasive weeds.
Enemy No. 1 was Scotch broom.
The District of Sooke was joined in the effort by the Juan de Fuca Community Trails Society and Broom Busters.
B次元官网网址淣ow that some of the COVID restrictions are lifted, weB次元官网网址檙e trying to organize one day a year at various locations to clean up and remove invasive plants,B次元官网网址� said Rosemary Jorna, hiking director for Juan de Fuca Community Trails Society.
Because the District of Sooke is considering a pilot project to get stewards to maintain Broomhill Park, Jorna said it would be great to recruit enough people to form an invasive species removal team for the district.
It takes about 60 hours of volunteer labour to keep the broom at Whiffin Spit in check, for example, Jorna noted.
