The SORCE bike club was out in force today helping plant some native trees and shrubs in Invergarrry Park. Big thanks to Fay and Roberto from the City of Surrey for guiding the volunteers! SORCE provided food and refreshments for the hard working crew. Lots of Cedars, Alders, Salmon berries and other native species were planted in the area across the path from the pump track. The family friendly event completed the planting that started last year in the same area. Some of the Volunteers took a well earned break on the pump track including SORCE president Jordan.

With the US government currently shut down, we figured a letter from the President might be in order:

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Vince Saumuels and Peter Falizsewski the new flow trail at SSBP is almost complete and absolutely the most fun a person can have on two wheels. With the fall weather approaching trail building season is now upon us, trail days coming soon.

The City of Surrey, local community volunteers, and a team from SORCE will be on hand in Invergarry Planting trees on October 12. The work is fun, and  makes a bigger impact when more volunteers show up. Its a great event for nature lovers young and old alike. It's also a fantastic opportunity to give back to the community. If you would like to help out, the fun starts at 10am. We hope to see you there!
