We are thrilled to launch a brand-new way for you to take action against invasive Scotch broom and earn cash while doing it!
Through our Broombuster Program, we’ve teamed up with the Crowdsorsa mobile app to reward community members who help us track this aggressive invasive plant.
This mission is designed to make it easy—and worthwhile—for you to help protect local ecosystems. Every verified report helps CKISS locate and manage infestations before they spread further into our region.
Scotch Broom Reporting Mission
The first step in invasive species management is knowing where infestations exist. Through the Crowdsorsa app, community members can now get paid to report Scotch broom across RDCK Areas F, H, A, D, and E.
How it works:
1. Download the Crowdsorsa app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Find the Scotch Broom Reporting mission on the Crowdsorsa app. To learn how to ID Scotch broom click here.
3. Locate Scotch broom sites in your area within the RDCK Areas F, H, A, D, and E.
3. Take a short video of the plant and submit it through the app.
4. Get rewarded once your sighting is verified.
Every report helps CKISS locate and manage infestations before they spread further into the region.
Your reports matter. Your reports get rewarded.
