Aldergrove volunteers are restoring a bog in 91原创.
The Derby Reach Brae Islands Association鈥檚 bog restoration committee, has been monitoring 91原创鈥檚 bog located at 21801 Allard Crescent.
Rocxi Bevis, program coordinator, said the information found while monitoring the bog, shows a need for a restoration clean up.
鈥淭he DRBIPA Bog Restoration Committee, has been working on bog monitoring projects with the support of environmental restoration program students, and Metro Vancouver Regional Parks. The projects have shown a need for a big restoration cleanup like this,鈥� said Bevis.
For the first time, the association is hosting a bog clean up event, on Friday, Nov. 5, Saturday, Nov, 6 and Sunday Nov, 7.
Volunteers will be picking up debris out of the bog, that may have blown in or people may have left.
鈥淏ogs are such special ecosystems, and the 91原创 Bog needs our help. It is a protected and restricted-access area for conservation reasons and Derby Reach Brae Island Parks Association has been approved for special 3 day access for this event,鈥� said Bevis.
There are 20 volunteers each day of the event, from both Aldergrove and 91原创.
鈥淭his event is a great way for community volunteers to give back to nature and have a real impact,鈥� added Bevis.
