Slocan Park Community Wetland Planting

The City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation are creating a new wetland at Slocan Park. It will restore some of the natural benefits of the wetlands once common in the neighbourhood, reducing flooding and drought, providing habitat for pollinators and birds, cooking the hot summer air, and filtering pollution from Still Creek.

Still Moon is hosting a community planting party to help to create the wetland by planting water-loving plants at the site. There will be live music and snacks to enjoy, too!

We're aiming to plant 800 plants, so the more the merrier... Bring your friends and family!

Registration to appreciated to help us plan, but drop-in participants are welcome too.
