Invasive species are the second biggest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. The City jointly relies on Edmonton residents to Spot, Report and Remove invasive species within our City. We are grateful for the hundreds of volunteers that have joined together to stop the spread of invasive plants, and protect Edmonton's biodiversity.

Weed Pull Events
The weed pull events are a great opportunity to learn about invasive weeds, see their impacts and gain hands-on experience managing them at parks throughout Edmonton.
This season’s weed pull events have concluded for the season. Thank you to the 570 volunteers who donated 1,247 hours of their time and removed 559 bags of weeds at 49 events!
Updates about 2026 weed pull events and registration link will be available on the website, the Integrated Pest Management Newsletter and @yegparks social in the spring.
