We will have refreshments, but we suggest you bring a water bottle. Also, if you have them, please bring gloves and tools such as shears/clippers/loppers (writing your name on masking tape and putting on your tool is suggested) – but we will also have tools and gloves available.

Tracking Events

We are reaching out to other organizations that have invasive plant removal events to pull together a record of events including location, organization, date/address, and what was removed. In a few years, we can use that data to determine the long-term effect of removals and to inform our removal strategies. Once we start receiving data, we will make that information available here.
