Bad Seed

Weed Out Invasive Plants

Invasive plants kill native plants and destroy Coquitlam’s beautiful natural habitat. They spread aggressively and destroy the habitat of fish, birds and other wildlife.

We need your help to keep Coquitlam free of Bad Seeds:

• Learn how to identify invasive plants and avoid buying or planting them

• Never dump garden waste or hanging baskets into natural areas

• Volunteer for a local weed pull event to help remove invasive plants from local parks

• Dispose of invasive plant material in your Green Cart

For more information or to volunteer, visit coquitlam.ca/badseed or email parks@coquitlam.ca.

Tree Spree

Supporting Trees in Coquitlam

Tree Spree is a tree-planting initiative and public-education program with the overall purpose of recognizing and promoting the value of the City’s tree canopy. Whether on public or private land, Coquitlam’s trees offer many benefits for our health, well-being and the environment.

As part of Tree Spree, the City's Park Spark and Urban Forestry Teams coordinate a variety of community outreach and educational activities, including educational walks and workshops, tree giveaways, tree and garden planting sessions and more.
