Holland Creek Trail After cutting. May 2023
Ladysmith Community Cuts 2023
June 3rd, 1-3pm we will revisit Holland Creek Estuary. This is the extra date I set aside in my calendar for broombusting and I think the Estuary is the best spot to do more work. The meet up place is by the Ladysmith sign/broom piles on Roland Rd opposite Pamela Anderson’s house here. https://goo.gl/maps/WggGYbQfe94Gg17w5

Completed Cuts 2023
Make plans for cut broom removal before you cut! Unfortunately, MOTI is not able to remove broom cut on the highways. If you contact Broombusters in advance, sometimes we can help. At the very least, we can offer advice on cut broom disposal. To be a Broombuster, contact Broombusters first! Cut at your own risk. Be safe and have fun!

Cut ANYTIME AREAS in Ladysmith 2023
We welcome those of you who are new to broombusting! Feel free to come to any (or all!) of the community cuts. We cut as a group for a couple of hours. You can come late or leave early if that is best for you. There is no need to let me know if you are coming (or not coming) to a community cut – just show up when you have time in your schedule.
You Can Cut on Your Own in Ladysmith: After you have attended a community cut, signed a waiver and learned proper technique, you can cut on your own. We can even loan you loppers. Please stay in touch with me (Nikki) and let me know what you want to do. Thanks!
