Event Info & Map
Together, we’ll tackle the invasive Common Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila paniculata)—a deep-rooted weed that spreads thousands of seeds and robs the soil of moisture. By removing it before it sets seed, we’ll help protect native plants and keep this greenspace healthy.
Extra Highlights:
-
Celebrate after at Blairmore Tim Hortons (230 Betts Ave, Saskatoon).
-
Sign our special CITO postcard for World Postcard Day—to be sent to Geocaching HQ in Seattle.
-
Earn your CITO Season 2 and World Postcard Day souvenirs (if you’re a geocacher or if you would like to learn about geocaching. (Just download the free geocaching app, and sign in with your favourite geocaching name!).
-
Take part during National Forest Week (Sept 21–27) and National Save Your Photos Day (Sept 27).
How to Participate:
-
Bring gloves, tools for chopping roots, and water.
-
Help remove Baby’s Breath before it flowers.
-
Add your name to the postcard and be part of this creative celebration!
It’s a win–win–win–win: protect a forest, earn geocaching souvenirs, celebrate nature, and connect with community.
We look forward to seeing you there!
