#Vancouver #YVR 👇

Unwind and #weave -> #InvasiveIvy removal and #BasketMaking. Combo of #environmental #volunteer #workparty & #learn some #weaving with #InvasiveSpecies 👍

Wed, Jul 9, 2025 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Renfrew Ravine Park | Meet at Renfrew Ravine Labyrinth.

"Join Still Moon for another round of basket weaving and stewardship at the Mid Ravine site! We’ve removed nearly 80% of the English ivy ground cover and are aiming to complete or come close to finishing it during this session. We'll spend the first hour and a half removing ivy and other invasive species, followed by an hour of relaxing basket weaving. Come lend a hand in caring for this special site—and take home a handmade basket! We'll return in the fall to plant a rich mix of native species."

This site has both flat and sloped areas, and is accessed by a flat path, there is something for everyone to do here! If you need help getting to the site, or have other questions about accessibility, please email connelly@stillmoonarts.ca.

Still Moon Arts Society mobilizes community and creates positive change through eco-arts and environmental stewardship programming, and produces the annual Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival. Still Moon is a registered charity whose mission is to inspire vibrant and connected communities by creating artistic experiences and nurturing a passion for nature.

3 of us on unofficial Team Asian attended #WellandCommunityOrchard #WorkParty today. Jenny & Phang. Jenny is originally from mainland China & speaks Cantonese - avid food security person & she does Chinese genealogy work too. Phang is from Hanoi, Vietnam & has only been here for less than a year. Phang is a farmer & works on a small market farm in Metchosin. All 3 of us are regular community orchard volunteers.

Great #volunteers #WorkParty today!
We got lots done together. Orchard has no more fallen fruits for now. We got a bunch of weeding & pruning done too.

Learn more & join us at future orchard work parties or come out for free tours sometime!

I met 3 people who are also from Vietnam today too. Julie & her daughter are from South Vietnam - they live in a rental here that's only 5 minutes from our home. Phanh is from North Vietnam & works on a farm in Metchosin. She's moving out to live on the farm soon, with her husband.

I also found out that River, the orchard coordinator, knows my good friend, Lyrica & her partner Talia too. They met at local Queer Crafternoon gatherings. Lyrica regularly attends those & River teaches some crafts at them. I'm going to attend some of them in near future as it's open to LGBTQ2S comrades & a few friends have invited me to go.
