Come join the Bad Seed team and help us protect Lafarge Lake & Town Centre Park from invasive plants! Join us to learn about invasive species like Himalayan blackberry including how to identify them, what the impacts of invasive species are, and have fun removing them from this island not normally open to the public! We’ll be removing small blackberry plants & their roots to prevent their growth on this island and making space for native species to thrive.
