MECHANICAL REMOVAL OF HIMALAYAN BLACKBERRY (RUBUS ARMENIACUS) IN DERBY REACH REGIONAL PARK, LANGLEY, BC

Abstract

The long-term goals for Derby Reach Park are key in our Invasive removal strategy of Rubus armeniacus integrating the pillars of sustainability and the social, economic and environmental impacts the Park has to the region. Additionally, our ultimate intention is to create adequate pollinator habitat as well as overwintering bird habitat, providing a buffer between the mixed-use spaces in the park.
