SUMMARY:Make a Difference Week Volunteer Days
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nFor the fourth year running\, the Galiano Conservancy is celebrating international Make a Difference Week as part of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. \nVolunteer days will take place on June 6 and 7 at the Millard Learning Centre.  Participants will get a chance to learn about and work with native plants from the nursery to the forest. \nDay 1: We will be moving native plants and setting up sustainable watering infrastructure (water mats with a wicking system) which will help us to greatly reduce the water needed to care for the plants that we grow for restoration projects and for individuals to plant in their homes. \nDay 2: We will be weeding\, mulching and caring for the Nuts’a’maat Forage Forest. \nParticipants should come prepared for the weather in comfortable clothes and shoes that they can get dirty. Please bring your own drinking water and all food needed. Friday you will have access to potable water but there will be no snacks. Galiano is only accessible by ferry so please plan accordingly with the ferry schedule. There is the potential for camping available for participants that want to do both days. Those who are interested can email nursery@galianoconservancy.ca for details. \nVolunteers help remove introduced yellow-flag iris as part of Make A Difference Week 2022

SUMMARY:Restoration Fridays - Make a Difference Week Edition
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, June 5th 2026\, the restoration team will be celebrating International Make a Difference Week by meeting at the Quadra Hill Nature Reserve for an educational day of forest restoration and ecological fuel management.\n \nGaliano Island has a legacy of industrial clear-cut logging that has resulted in huge swathes of simplified plantation forests on our landscape.  These young monocultures lack diversity and increase wildfire risk. On Quadra Hill\, we’ve been working for the past couple of years to model restorative forestry practices\, integrating both wetland restoration and forest restoration.\n\nOn Friday\, we’ll talk about the restoration we’ve done\, and then there will be opportunities to contribute by: \n\n\n\npulling down a Douglas-fir tree with a chain hoist\nmanaging fuels and creating conservation burn piles for biochar generation in the fall\n\nWe’ll meet at 9:30 at the cul-de-sac at the end of Melissa Road (1000 Melissa Road).  GCA staff will manage parking along the shoulder of Melissa Road\, or on the Quadra Hill property depending on vehicle type.  Snacks will be provided.  If you want to join us for lunch\, please bring a packed lunch\, and water for the day.\n\n\nTools will be provided.  Make sure you wear a pair of hiking boots with good traction\, as well as long sleeves and pants.  There is a chance of rain\, so come prepared.  FYI\, there are no washroom facilities on this property. \n\nWe hope you’ll be able to join us for a fun\, educational\, and productive day!  Please let Adam Huggins know ahead of time if you plan on attending\, by emailing him at restoration@galianoconservancy.ca
