The City of Edmonton works with community members to stop the spread of Prohibited Noxious and Noxious Weeds listed in the Alberta Weed Control Act.
Invasive species are the second biggest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. Join hundreds of volunteers to help stop the spread of invasive plants in Edmonton and to preserve the biodiversity in our beautiful river valley. Join us for a safe, fun and hands-on volunteer experience this summer with your families and friends.
To sign up for a volunteer shift, log into our Better Impact page and choose Opportunities at the top.
Each guided shift will have an assigned date, time, and location. Sign up for the one that works best for you.
You will receive an event-specific information email after your registration and a reminder email before your shift.
On the day of the events, volunteers will participate in both tree planting and invasive weed pulling. Volunteer shifts last two hours with all supplies being provided.
