TWO PROJECTS THAT ENCOURAGE NATIVE HABITAT

A Master of Dwarf Mistletoe Control
with Sue Dugaro
Sue is a dwarf mistletoe expert. Dwarf mistletoe is of significant importance to forestry with the implementation of variable retention, and there are several species. Her master's project was on the biological control of dwarf mistletoe.

Robin Lane Restoration Builds Community
with Sylvia Samborski
Sylvia will give a progress report on restoring native plants to a road allowance near her home, which she initiated as a community-buidling project in her neighborhood.

UVic, MacLaurin Bldg, Rm D-116 Non member drop-in fee: $3

Sunday, June 10, 2012 at 9:00 - 14:30 (end time approximate)
Field trip -- Native grasses on the slopes of Mount Work
led by Hans Roemer

The hike to the destination, known as Martha's Mound among hikers, takes about 45 minutes. The elevation gained is less than that for the Mount Work summit, but requires reasonable fitness. Frequent botanizing stops may add another 45 minutes to make it 1.5 hours up and 1 hour down. We want to have about 2 hours up there, so the time away from the vehicles would be 4.5 hours, or more if participants are so inclined. Wear hiking boots and sun hat/rain gear, bring water and a light lunch.

Participation is by reservation, limited to 25 people. E-mail patmcmahon@shaw.ca to reserve. Details of the meeting point upon reservation.
