Burnaby, BC V3N 4G7 CanadaDescription
The first EcoBlitz was held in 2014 and was a one day event across the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks System and gave an opportunity for the community to lend a helping hand to nature and show a little extra love to our Regional Park.
On October 14, meet us to start the work of planting native species in the Lenson field, clean up any wayward weeds if needed and help build a fence. Remember to dress for the weather, sturdy and water proof shoes or boots, rain pants, jackets and a hat if needed. We'll provide the gloves, tools and snacks! Ages 8+
To assist in planning for tools and refreshments, please RSVP here to let us know you're coming - Thank you!
Please keep an eye on our social media closer to the event so you can be kept up to date with any changes due to weather or any additional information.

The Burnaby Lake Park Association was founded in 1972* and has been an active volunteer organization leading stewardship activities that preserve, restore, and protect Burnaby Lake Regional Park’s ecological integrity. They connect people with nature through habitat restoration and enhancement such as their invasive species removal program Weedbusters and Nestbox Monitoring, education and outreach in the community. The BLPA is an advocate for environmentally responsible management of Burnaby Lake Regional Park to ensure it is a legacy for future generations. We work in conjunction with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Interpreters to help people discover the great outdoors!
The BLPA acknowledges that our work is situated on the the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. We offer immense gratitude and thanks to the nations and the Indigenous peoples who have long been protectors of the lands and the waters that house and nourish us and allow us to do this work to restore and protect Burnaby Lake Regional Park.
