Scotch broom removal at East Sooke Regional Park

Come join us at beautiful East Sooke Regional Park, a premier hiking destination in the Capital Regional District (CRD), to help remove some invasive Scotch broom that is encroaching on the open field areas of the park. Later you can enjoy a hike along the scenic and rugged coast trail and experience some West Coast wilderness, or picnic at the pocket beach at Aylard Farm. One thing for certain, you won't be disappointed.
