Progress at Drumbeg
At Drumbeg, Gabriola’s battle against invasive Scotch broom continues: Gabriola Land and Trails Trust organizes broom-pulling work-parties, and volunteers yank broom from the ground so that native plants can re-establish themselves.
The progress this year is amazing. Next time you’re at Drumbeg, wander out to the place where the most broom grows, and take a look. Go up the meadow past the fruit trees and see what’s been done at the top of the little hill, too. It’s stunning.
If Gabriola’s broom-pulling volunteers continue at this rate, I think they might get most of the broom out of Drumbeg within the next year or so.
