In Alta Vista, a group of volunteers led by Michelle St-Germain is battling Dog-strangling Vine (DSV) in 5 areas and replacing it with native wildflowers, often grown by those volunteers. This pollinator patch is on Pleasant Park Road at the corner of Lynda Lane. The photo at the left was taken in 2023, after volunteers had removed hundreds of DSV plants.
