Weed Out Invasive Plants

Park Spark is your chance to have fun and gain meaningful experiences while enhancing Coquitlam’s parks. We’ve got many different ways to get involved and spark your connection:

Invasive plants kill native plants and destroy Coquitlam’s beautiful natural habitat. They spread aggressively and destroy the habitat of fish, birds and other wildlife.

• Ongoing park care activities—help take care of a park on your own schedule • Drop-in volunteer activities—join the Park Spark team at activations throughout the year, including Lights at Lafarge • Group park projects—involve your business, community group or school in a fun park project • Park amenity additions— become a park steward with one of our Adopt-A-Park programs

We need your help to keep Coquitlam free of Bad Seeds:

For more information and to see upcoming activities, visit coquitlam.ca/parkspark or email parkspark@coquitlam.ca.

• Learn how to identify invasive plants and avoid buying or planting them • Never dump garden waste or hanging baskets into natural areas • Volunteer for a local weed pull event to help remove invasive plants from local parks • Dispose of invasive plant material in your Green Cart For more information or to volunteer, visit coquitlam.ca/badseed or email parks@coquitlam.ca.

Karen Armstrong (author of The History of God) has recently published a new book called Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World.
