Saanich Property Owners: The Growing Blackberry Crisis

Urgent Alert for Saanich Residents

Saanich properties are experiencing unprecedented Himalayan blackberry invasion rates. Our recent assessments across Gordon Head, Cordova Bay, and Royal Oak reveal an alarming trend: aggressive growth patterns are threatening Saanich's distinctive mix of urban and rural properties at rates 40% higher than previous years.

Saanich's Unique Vulnerability
