Please join with us for a Pull and Plant!

We will be removing unwanted weeds (invasive species Garlic Mustard and Buckthorn) and replacing them with flowering native perennials that will compete with invasive plants and provide much-needed pollen and nectar for pollinators – bees, butterflies and other insects.

The Pull and Plant will take place on Monday, 22 May 2017 from 1pm to 4pm at Wolfond Park east at Arthur street Guelph. Anyone wishing to help can contact Meera at meera.dyer@gmail.com or Kiran at speedriver@opirgguelph.org.

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
