Glenbrooke Ravine Park

In order to support a literature review for my research paper, I sourced the report ‘Glenbrook Ravine Park Invasive Plant Management Plan’ dated June 17, 2019 (“The Plan”) from the City of New Westminster’s website. The Plan was prepared by Diamond Head Consulting and the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver (“ISCMV”)  for the City of New Westminster. To evaluate the Plan I referred to the Tutorial: How to Evaluate Sources of Scientific Information and followed the flow chart to determine the Plan was academic, peer-reviewed, review material and a valuable reference for my Report.

The authors, Fiona Steele, RPBio and Matthew Morrish, RBTech of Diamond Head Consulting both hold professional designations with the College of Applied Biologists and Tasha Murray of the ISCMV holds a B.Sc. (Ecology & Environmental Biology) from Thompson River University and a M.S.T. (Masters of Science in Teaching) from Portland State University and is currently an executive director of ISCMV (n.a., 2022). The Plan includes in-field citations and a bibliography. The Plan was reviewed by the City of New Westminster’s Environment Advisory Committee prior to publication. However, does not include methods and results section. The findings are based on a review of previous research and stakeholder workshops, which distinguishes from academic material, peer-reviewed, research material.
