For the past 20 years, #Broombusters — an organization that was founded near #QualicumBeach —- has removed #invasive #ScotchBroom across #VancouverIsland. What started as a small effort to protect local #biodiversity has now turned into a crucial part of reducing wildfire risk in the critical urban-wildfire interface, with the City of #Nanaimo partnering with the organization to remove the #InvasiveSpecies from city parks.

#30daysOfBiking up Terwilliger and back a bit to cut blackberry canes that are reaching across the bike lane (of a couple #invasive types, I think these are Evergreen. Our native pacific trailing blackberry has smaller thorns, thinner stems, and is much kinder to bike lanes but it does dangle from the trees above sometimes. Though invasive clematis vitalba is more annoying in that regard besides killing our big deciduous trees.) This stand of canes has been here since last (2?) year. #pdxBikes
