October Volunteer and Events Bulletin

Friend, You Can Make a Difference

It's officially spooky season! We're rolling up our sleeves to get ready for planting season. Most events focus on removing invasive plants, plus two special days where we'll unload and place hundreds of plants to prep the sites. It's a lot of work, but a fun way to burn off those Halloween candy calories while helping local habitats thrive. We'd love to see you out at one (or more!) of these volunteer days.

Can't make it to our upcoming events? You can still help!

If you've got a spare $5 floating around, why not throw it our way?

Your donation helps keep our volunteers fueled with coffee, snacks, and helpful equipment – ensuring they're ready to tackle any habitat restoration adventure.

Community power in action!

A huge thank you to the 21 volunteers who joined us at Fishtrap Creek Park on September 18!


With so many helping hands from the community, we were able to remove and make a pile 3 times as big of the invasive plants compared to in the spring.

Their hard work has made a lasting impact on the health of this space. We couldn’t have done it without them! Watch the recap below.


The Fraser Valley Conservancy values and appreciates every single one of its volunteers and the time that they donate to us.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of the upcoming events, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
