Vancouver park board's removal of thousands of hemlock trees in Stanley Park has set off a race for the Stanley Park Ecology Society on a second front of their restoration project.

The society’s staff has enlisted a corps of volunteers to step in and plant native flora shrubs alongside them, trying to recreate a healthy forest understory before invasive species can take hold.

The Stanley Park Preservation Society argued that large-scale removals are only increasing the risk for invasive species to establish.

A University of B.C. forest ecologist said replanting is often necessary as part of restoration.

Stanley Park is a highly productive ecosystem, so sometimes just paring back the invasive plants is enough for native plants to return.
