We are very proud to be involved in a local community restoration project in Burnaby. The “Pollinator Park” is planned to be completed by August 2021.
Overall, our goal is to help transform a forgotten and underutilized area into a beautiful and vibrant green space for the benefit of residents and visitors of the community!
Current Landscape Condition:
The project will include:
- The addition of outdoor seating such as benches and alternative structures.
- A trash and recycling unit for continued cleanliness.
- The installation of a large wooden pergola for shade and to support the addition of climbing hop vines.
- Designing and installing raised hexagonal wooden planter beds to serve as a pollinator garden. This will be a ‘bee hotel’ and will support the long term maintenance of a healthy neighbourhood pollinator insect population.
- Potentially the addition of public art made from brewery equipment, barrels, etc.
