A community weed pull is a hands-on event designed to promote public awareness and involvement in invasive plant management.
Community groups learn about invasive plants and hand-pull priority invasive weeds on sensitive sites. In recognition of their work the NWIPC presents the community group with a $250 honorarium.
Invasive Plant Awareness, Education and Control in Dunster, BC
Members of the Dunster 4-H Community Club manually control invasive plants along community roadways. The group also increases community awareness of the issues raised by invasive plants by manning the NWIPC information booth at the annual “Cattlemen’s Ball.” The Cattlemen’s Ball is an important fundraiser for this 4-H club.
Immaculate Conception Church and School, Canada Thistle Containment Project
The Immaculate Conception Church and school grounds have been plagued by a major infestation of Canada thistle in recent years. In 2007, with funds provided by NWIPC, they organized a community work bee/BBQ to remove the plants from the site. At the event, parishioners and neighbours were educated about invasive plants and rehabilitating the infested area.
If you are interested in participating in community weed pulls or other funded projects such as those described above, please fill out an application form and contact the NWIPC.
