Deep Bay Restoration Volunteer Registration

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
— Margaret Mead

Deep Bay has recently been protected, safeguarding its mature forests, salmon streams and diverse shoreline. Now, we’re helping restore the former homestead so it can regenerate into a healthy forest. With the building removed, the work will include  planting native trees and other vegetation, spreading mulch and installing deer fencing to protect the new plants. The Comox Valley Land Trust is partnering again with WolfTree, following our work together at qax mot, with Tal Engel leading the volunteer restoration day on Sunday, October 25.

Meeting location

Rosewall Creek Provincial Park parking lot. We’ll meet here and carpool to the restoration site at Deep Bay.

Please arrive at 9:50 sharp at Rosewall Creek Provincial Park parking lot so we can organize the “shuttle".

Facilities
There is a toilet at the meeting location, but no washroom facilities at the restoration site. 

Cell service
Limited. We recommend reviewing the meeting location and directions in advance, as you may not have reception on site.

Weather cancellation
In the event of extreme weather (such as high winds or heavy snow), the activity will be cancelled and participants will be notified by email. Please check your email one hour prior to the event. If you do not receive a cancellation notice, the activity will proceed as planned.

Food & drinks

Lunch will be provided. We’ve done our best to offer a variety of options, but if you have specific dietary needs, we recommend bringing your own lunch. Thank you for your understanding.

Coffee will be available on site. If you tend to snack throughout the day, you may wish to bring extra snacks.

Please note: Due to the walk to the site, pack light and bring only what you can comfortably carry.
