The Greater Victoria Green Team with help from a student group at the University of Victoria organized an invasive plant removal activity in Bowker Creek at Moneith Street in Oak Bay! We removed one of the last large patches of English Ivy from the area, as well as invasive clematis and girdled an invasive hawthorn and holly, plus staked some native Dogwood shrubs!
