Park Spark Workshop – Local and Invasive Species
2026-08-09 14:00 - 15:30 | Town Centre Park Community Centre, 1207 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, BC, V3B 4S7, Canada
Not all plants belong where they grow. In this hands-on workshop, participants discover how invasive species reshape our local ecosystems – crowding out local plants, disrupting food webs, and altering the health of our waterways.
Through interactive stations featuring real plant specimens, root system comparisons, and environmental models, participants will learn to identify invasive species, understand their impact on local environments, and discover how responsible recreation can help protect the places we share.
Registration is hosted on the City of Coquitlam event page.
