Invasive species are the second biggest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. The City jointly relies on Edmonton residents to Spot, Report and Remove invasive species within our City. We are grateful for the hundreds of volunteers that have joined together to stop the spread of invasive plants, and protect Edmonton's biodiversity.
Sign up for our Integrated Pest Management Newsletter to stay up-to-date on news and events related to invasive plants.
Join a Weed Pull Event
The invasive plant outreach program team is excited to steward Edmonton’s natural areas with community members by hosting Volunteer Invasive Weed Pull Events. We invite people of all ages and abilities to sign up.
Join a Weed Pull Event
Learn about invasive weeds, see their impacts and gain hands-on experience managing them at parks throughout Edmonton.
Tools and gloves will be provided. Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.
We look forward to stewarding Edmonton with you this summer!
