Come plant some trees with us!

As Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society continues to grow as an organization, so to do we want the natural environments that surround us to. So, in honour of our 25th anniversary, we will be planting 2500 trees and shrubs generously donated by Metro Vancouver and we would love for you to come out, lend a hand and share in this extraordinary milestone with us as we couldn't have done it without all of you! 

Come by the Serpentine Fields entrance at Tynehead Regional Park in Surrey between 10am - 2pm (rain or shine!) for a fun-filled day of celebration, group tree planting, wildlife education displays, a delicious barbeque lunch and more! Everything at this family event is free of charge so come one, come all, even Fido too! This is a pet-friendly event so feel free to bring your dogs and let them roam free in the adjacent off-leash dog area. 

A donation page has been set up for the symbolic adoption of each tree with all proceeds going directly to bring free environmental education programs to inner-city schoolchildren throughout BC. If you're able, please give generously at http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=20271

Free parking is available at the Serpentine Fields entrance


The Serpentine Fields park entrance is also transit accessible with a little bit of walking.

From Surrey Central SkyTrain station, you can catch the #337 "Fraser Heights" bus to 168 St at 104 Ave. From there, walk south on 168 St. to the pedestrian overpass. Cross the overpass and you will find us set up on the other side of it inside the park.
