Let’s come together and make a difference in our local forests.
We invite all members of the department and the UBC community to join us in a clean-up of our nearby forest lands.
UBC Psychology is grateful to be spending this year researching, learning, and teaching on beautiful lands—the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. In incorporating Indigenous perspectives into the university, Indigenous educators often emphasize the value of reciprocity: of giving and taking in equal measure; of understanding that we live in relation to all life/land, and must care for each other.
As a small gesture of reciprocity for the lands we work on and their traditional caretakers, on Thursday, September 12 from 2:30-3:30pm, we’ll launch the year by working together to pick up garbage and clean up some of our nearby forest spaces.
Come join us at the UBC Totem Forest on Agronomy Road between Lower Mall and Marine Drive (see map below). We’ll have gloves and bags available, plus a few trash grabbers. Look for folks in high-visibility vests who can help coordinate!
