A big thank you for all of you that participated in the initial event for the Friends of Uplands Park!

About 200 people attended Sunday’s event and more than 60 people (and families) signed up as “Friends of Uplands Park” to help conserve this endangered cultural Garry Oak Meadow Ecosystem.

We look forward to more events and will contact people in late September. We want to do some “weeding”!

Yours naturally,
Margaret Lidkea and Kathleen Matthews, Friends of Uplands Park

If Uplands Park inspires you, bring your creations…art, poetry, photography, music…and share with your community. Everyone is invited by the newly formed Friends of Uplands Park.

Information tables will be at the grassy entrance to Cattle Point at Beach Drive. Join a nature walk, sing songs, read your poetry, create some art and let us know your personal connection with the park. Join the Friends of Uplands Park and commit to preserving this jewel in our community. Bring your family, a picnic lunch and your sense of joy.
