Thanks to the City of Coquitlam for nominating our group, and for hosting us at this year's Environmental Achievement Awards at Blue Mountain Park on June 26.

It was a beautiful day and an excellent event. We enjoyed learning about invasives with Invasive Species Council of BC, and learning about local trees. Congrats to this year’s winners!

Local stewardship groups and environmental heroes enjoyed time together.
