A two-day weed-pulling event has been organized with the goal of making Mundy Park free of invasive plants.
According to the city of Coquitlam, weeds and non-native species — including English ivy, yellow lamium and Himalayan blackberry — destroy the natural environment and must be removed.
Day one of the event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 4 between noon and 3 p.m., with a second day of weed pulling between 9 a.m. and noon on Monday, Oct. 5. Those who attend are asked to meet at the Hillcrest gravel parking lot at Mundy Park.
Participants should dress appropriately, bring a bottle of water and only wear close-toed shoes to the event. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided along with tools and gloves.
Groups of 10 or more must register by emailing [email protected]. The city will also be presenting information to residents on the upcoming Mundy Park trails update and the Riverview Forest park trails construction.
