🌿 Join the Green Team: Glenbrook Ravine Native Planting Day Returns!

Grab your gloves and join the green team this fall! 🍃 On Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the Immigrant Services Society of Metro Vancouver (ISCMV), the City of New Westminster, and the New Westminster Environmental Partners are teaming up for a community stewardship event at Glenbrook Ravine.

This hands-on day of action focuses on replanting native species to help restore the ravine’s natural ecosystem. 🌱 Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome — no experience required! Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just love the outdoors, there’s a way for everyone to contribute.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-Friendly Fun:
Expect an inclusive, welcoming environment where kids, families, and individuals can dig in, learn about local ecology, and make a real difference. The event runs rain or shine, so come dressed for the weather and ready to get a little muddy!

🧤 What to Bring:

• Closed-toe footwear with ankle support

• Weather-appropriate clothing (hat, long sleeves, sunscreen)

• A filled water bottle 💧

• Work gloves and tools (if you have them — extras will be available)

• A signed waiver (details provided at registration)

This planting event is completely free and open to everyone — you don’t need to live in New Westminster to join. Plus, there are five Glenbrook Ravine planting dates this year, so it’s a great opportunity to stay involved in ongoing restoration efforts.

🌎 Let’s grow something beautiful together!

👉 Register now to volunteer at Glenbrook Ravine!
