May 12 - Talk on Vancouver's Ecological Meadows by Jack Tupper

 Hi Gardeners


Join us in May for a Talk on Vancouver's Ecological Meadows by Jack Tupper.  His day job is with the park board and he is doing research on the meadows.

Vancouver Parks Board’s Ecological Meadows

For the past 10 years Jack has been studying Vancouver’s meadows and over the last 5 years the Parks Board has implemented 42 hectares of ecological meadows across the city.  The data that have received shows a very positive response in terms of diversity of insects, fungi and microbial life.
Jack is now conducting further research into how far these ecological principles can be taken to improve Vancouver’s parks.  What would our parks look like if we maintained them from an ecological perspective?
