Description

Weed Wrangles are volunteer events hosted nationwide to control the invasive plants that are negatively impacting our public spaces. During these events, community members learn to identify and control invasive plants which are causing harm to our native plant communities.  By engaging our community members we foster a collective effort to have a substantial positive impact for our native plants, pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. During a Weed Wrangle you will not only learn about plants, wildlife, and how to manage invasive plants, but will also join a national effort to positively impact our community.  And it's fun!  Each event is a rewarding opportunity to work together locally to celebrate and protect our cherished green spaces and natural areas!
