Hutchison Park Invasive Species Removal Party
The
North Quadra Residents' Association, in a partnership project
with Pearson College students, has helped restore the Garry
Oak Ecosystem of Bruce Hutchison Park.
Bruce
Hutchison Park, a beleaguered gem in North Quadra located
between Rogers and Lily, is a small remnant Garry Oak area
that has become overgrown with invasive species such as
English Ivy, Daphne Laurel and Scotch Broom. In March 2014,
The North Quadra Residents' Association, in conjunction
with the District of Saanich Parks, and with the help of
residents and community members, joined Pearson College
students to remove invasive plant species.

2013
The
popularity of our 3rd annual Music In The Park concert and
picnic event last July nearly exceeded its bounds, with
people pouring in from across Saanich, almost causing a
serious traffic jam!
A
whopping crowd of 2200 enjoyed the music of “The Sutcliffes”,
in the full splendor of Beckwith Park, for 2 hours on a
glorious summer evening. And there was a lot more happening!
Check out the photos
here.
MITP
- What a success! Thanks North Quadra for your fantastic support
of this event!
Thank
you to all who attended and all who participated in making
our each Music In The Park event a great
success.
