Here are the details:

Description

Volunteers are needed for native species planting at Kus kus sum! We will be planting the newly restored southern end of the site with over 4,000 native plants. No experience is necessary and we will provide all tools.

Much of the planting will take place in the intertidal salt marsh so it will be muddy work! Be sure to bring sturdy boots, layered clothing, and plenty of drinking water.

Please note there are no washrooms on site and we ask that dogs be left at home.

Many thanks to the two CVHS members that attended the Kus-Kus-Sum planting day. Here are some lovely photos of the event.

More planting days are being added to the volunteer sign-up calendar (see link above), partly to make up for the shift that had to be cancelled due to the storm.

Also, some exciting news, salmon have been spotted spawning in the newly created lagoons!

We are so glad you had a successful planting! Glad to know the salmon knew to come back, and that there is more to do!
