Join Surfrider to help restore a coastal sand ecosystem with Parks Canada in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
Contact volunteercoordinator@pacificrim.surfrider.ca to sign up!
On our restoration day, the Parks Canada conservation team members will be guiding us through a coastal sand ecosystem where we’ll learn about its uniqueness and the life it supports. They’ll be sharing info about restoration efforts that have taken place and how they monitor the status of the dunes and the species at risk that inhabit them.
Once on site, they will show us plants of interest and teach us how to identify them. After teaching us restoration techniques, we will spend the rest of the day managing the dune plants together! We will help restore the dune by digging out grasses and plants that threaten it by shovel, hand, or trowel.
