The seventh-annual Watershed Park English Ivy Mop-Up takes place March 27 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon in North Delta.
The ivy site, just uphill from the ruins of the Old Pumphouse, has terrain to suit every taste – from level and easy to steeper and more challenging.
The easiest access is on foot from the Pinewood Drive entrance into Watershed Park, or by parking your car at about the mid-point of the Highway 91 truck stop and following the footpath across the Burlington Northern line into the park, past the Old Pumphouse (on the left), and a stone’s throw up the hill.
Sturdy footwear (rubber boots are ideal), long pants and long sleeves are recommended.
Organizers will provide gloves, tools and snacks. Participants might also want to bring a large bottle or thermos for spring water burbling right out of the Pumphouse pipe.
