Weed Pulls

Many of our native plant species are under assault by a suite of non-native, invasive plants. Left unmanaged, these "problem plants" quickly take over, reducing native plant diversity, eliminating wildlife habitat and food sources, and significantly decreasing the beauty and accessibility of our forests, streams, and parks.

We need your help to control the spread of these aggressive plants! No experience necessary. We provide the training, tools, and all the weeds you can handle. You provide the muscle, enthusiasm, and desire for healthier, prettier parks and streams.
