Burdock is big and flowering right now in Whistler – it’s an invasive species that outcompetes native species and impacts our local biodiversity. Do you want to help do something about it? Join us as a Banish Burdock volunteer – sign up link is in the bio! #BanishBurdock #InvasiveSpecies #Plants #VolunteerOpportunity #VideoDescription: A woman stands in front of the camera and says “My friend wants to talk to you about plants and you better say its cool!”. She then walks back to reveal another woman standing beside a tall plant with heart shaped leaves. The first woman stands at the back and crosses her arms while the other woman introduces the plant as common burdock. (fb)

Have you seen any invasive plants on your walks recently? We certainly have. The only thing better than a mental health walk is a mental health plant removal session! Here’s how to remove invasive plants near you: Step 1: Make sure you are allowed to remove it! If you’re on private property, you need landowner permission before removing. Step 2: Research the plant. Head to our website to find the best removal techniques. https://buff.ly/lJvP3fV Step 3: Remove the plant. Remember to bring a garbage bag with you! Step 4: Dispose of the plant. Invasive plants go in the garbage, NOT the compost! Any questions? Drop us a message in the comments or our DMs 👇 #VideoDescription: A woman in athleticwear introduces Mountain Bluet, an invasive blue flowered plant in the Sea to Sky region.
