From Friends of Mount Douglas Park:

The Friends of Mount Douglas Park and the District of Saanich invite you to celebrate Significant Tree Day in Saanich by planting native vegetation along Douglas Creek. This is a family event and supervised children are welcome. Please dress for the weather and bring a shovel if you have one.

Restorationists and vegetation specialists from the Peninsula Streams Society and two gardeners from the Saanich Parks Department will be available to help find appropriate spots for the plants and to discuss the importance of vegetation in the restoration of urban streams.

The event starts at 10:30 AM Sunday November 6th, 2005. Meet at the picnic area in Mount Douglas Park. For further details or directions contact Bob Bridgeman, 477-7464 or rbridge@shaw.ca Please contact me if you plan on attending so that I can plan for the numbers.

Community partners: Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society; Saanich Parks and Recreation; Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Pacific Salmon Foundation; Pacific Forestry Centre; Peninsula Streams Society; and the community at large.
