Volunteer with Weaselhead/Glenmore Park Preservation Society

24 February 2024

Weaselhead/Glenmore Park Preservation Society (WGPPS) is inviting you to volunteer at their upcoming events.

  • Pathways and River Clean up

Spring is here, summer’s ahead. It’s time to clean the Weaselhead!

Sunday, May 5th, 9:45 a.m to noon.

The Weaselhead Preservation Society’s 29th Annual Clean-up is slated for Sunday, May 5th. It’s a walk in the park! (with litter sticks.)

If you want to participate, simply email the Clean-Up Coordinator, Paul Finkleman pfinkleman@shaw.ca  and let him know if others will be joining you.

We meet by ‘The Weasel-shed’ at the NW corner of the Weaselhead parking lot, 66th avenue and 37th street S.W. and start between 9:45 and 10:15. Come to the sign-up table as soon as you arrive, and we’ll supply you with bags, litter-grabbers and a variety of refreshing drinks and granola bars. We recommend you wear a hat and appropriate footwear. We finish at noon, at which time we will be drawing for a number of prizes.

We hope to see you there!

  • May Plant Count 2024

Help us count the flowering plants in the Weaselhead!
We will be doing a thorough sweep of the park to try to catch as many flowering plants as possible, visiting specific places we know certain plants are flowering.
This will be a slow paced walk on and off trail throughout the park. This volunteer event will roughly be 3 hours long, although you can leave early if you are not able to stay the whole time.
No plant ID experience necessary Just bring your observations skills and a camera/iPhone if possible.
Can't join us on the day? We still encourage you to head out on your own through the Weaselhead and make a list or snap a picture of any plant/shrub you see flowering. No need to identify the plant if you are unsure. Just upload all your sitings to iNaturalist and contribute to the data collection!

Sign up at May Plant Count 2024.
