Join NCC this Halloween to tackle the terrifying buckthorn at MapleCross Coastline Reserve.

Invasive buckthorn has been giving us toil and trouble, so come help us slay this sinister shrub to ensure that the native plants and birds continue to flourish at MapleCross Coastline Reserve. Physical activity includes walking one kilometre over uneven terrain, as well as bending, cutting and pulling motions. In the spirit of Halloween, volunteers are welcome to wear orange, something Halloween-themed or a simple costume that they can move in and are okay with wearing while working outdoors.

Please note:
Additional event details, including directions and parking instructions, will be provided after registration.

No previous experience is required. This event is suited for those aged 14 and over. This event will proceed rain or shine, so please dress for the conditions: rubber boots, or shoes you don’t mind getting wet or dirty, long layers of comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting dirty, a toque and a change of dry clothes (just in case).

To allow us to plan for a safe, successful and enjoyable day in the field together, all participants must register in advance of the event. As space is limited and spots fill up fast, register today to confirm your attendance.
