The Blandford Canyon natural area is an important habitat corridor that runs through the heart of Vancouver. Wildflower Meadow caps the north end of the corridor and was most recently covered with high-maintenance grass. Join Urban Forestry and the Urban Youth program in planting native trees and spreading bark chips to enhance the soils and habitat.

Tools and training provided. RSVP to (360) 487-8308 or email Urban Forestry at urbanforestry@cityofvancouver.us.
