The Friends of Colwood Parks is inviting residents to help remove invasive plants from three local parks in Colwood, British Columbia, throughout March 2026. These volunteer sessions aim to improve the health of local green spaces by clearing out plants that do not belong there and allowing native species to thrive.

The first event will take place at Latoria Creek Park on March 14, 2026. This will be followed by a cleanup at Colwood Creek Park on March 21, 2026, and a final session at Lagoon West Park on March 29, 2026.

According to the Friends of Colwood Parks, their mission is to rehabilitate public spaces and parks through community-led efforts. By involving residents directly, the organization helps maintain the natural beauty and ecological health of the city’s park system.

The City of Colwood collaborates with the group to organize these stewardship events. These sessions provide an opportunity for people to participate in the ongoing maintenance of the trails and forests in their own neighbourhoods.
