environment · May 16-22, 2018 · Various roads on Denman Island
The Pesticide Free Committee's annual Scotch broom pulling campaign will take place starting May 16, 2018 for six or seven days, followed by a day to collect roadside piles. The broom pulling will cover multiple roads on Denman Island. Two broom pullers are available for rent at the Hardware Store for $5 per day.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
