We're looking for volunteers to help us to map Scotch Broom, an invasive species, at Goldstream Park. This mapping will guide us and BC Parks in planning its removal in a second phase in spring, as well as track the management over time.

Talking to Grace is always inspiring! Your passion is clear in your writing and to date, your story on our research is one of, if not my absolute favourite. Go check out her work at the @fvcurrent.bsky.social

One day maybe I can convince her to write a book on plants with me! 🌱😜
Last, but absolutely not least since I have another story in the works about her research, is Dr. Lauren Erland. I connected when I came back from mat leave to talk about her new BERRi Lab at UFV, and ended up diving into her research on climate change and cranberries instead.
