Saxe Point Park regeneration
2030-09-02 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Vancouver)
Come and have fun helping to remove ivy, blackberry and a few other non-native invasive plants that are smothering the park. Doing so will allow the native plants to re-establish and thrive, restoring the natural ecosystem.
This is a volunteer effort promoted by Esquimalt Parks and Recreation under their Branch Out initiative.
Saxe Point Park is at the bottom of Fraser Street in Esquimalt. Meet in front of the washroom block, circled in red on the map below.
Pre-requirement:
Esquimalt Parks and Recreation requires that all volunteers must complete and sign a waiver as well as attend a brief orientation session about working in the park.

“Journey back in time at Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum, a volunteer-led museum and restoration project located in Fairfield. On Thursdays and Fridays at 11AM and 1PM, or Saturdays at 2PM, walk down the path past heritage apple trees and beautiful gardens, and step into one of only a few 1860s houses still standing in Victoria. From the bright and airy drawing room to the charming children’s bedroom, the house has been restored with extraordinary care to appear as it did when the Roscoe family called it home.

Admission is $7.50 per person. Reservations preferred in advance at https://tinyurl.com/RossBayVillaTours. All funds support the volunteer-based Ross Bay Villa Society, which owns and operates Ross Bay Villa.

Drop in a little early for your Saturday tour for our Gift Shop In the Garden, a unique vintage store with everything from clothing and books to fine china and unexpected treasures. Stop by between 10-2, and find something special! Please note this outdoor event is weather dependent, and donations of gently used household items are gratefully accepted.”

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time.
