The Friends of Holland Creek are already gearing up for another busy year of environmental stewardship in Ladysmith.

Following a recent open house at Jas Café, the volunteer group said its top priorities for 2026 include mapping the Holland Creek watershed and identifying threats to local biodiversity, with renewed attention also planned for nearby Tyee Creek.

The group will continue regular work bees through the winter and early spring, focusing on invasive plant removal, habitat restoration and volunteer orientation.

Several February events are scheduled, including hands-on creek cleanups, a beginner-friendly iNaturalist workshop ahead of April’s Bioblitz, and a Family Day event in Holland Creek.

Friends of Holland Creek said all experience levels are welcome, and community members are encouraged to get involved as preparations for the spring season continue.
