We’ll also be planting native species too!Instruction, gloves, tools and refreshments provided.

All ages and abilities welcome to this free activity that helps our Naturehood. Our goal is to make restoration events accessible for everyone, however some terrain and seasonal conditions within the park may provide challenges. If you have concerns or questions, please reach out to us!
Uplands Park and Oak Bay are on the ancestral territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən people, known today as the Songhees and Xʷsepsəm Nations.
We respect and honour their vital relationship with these lands and waters and how they have stewarded them through countless generations, continuing to the present and into the future.
