Volunteer: Weed Wrangle

During a Weed Wrangle, you will not only learn about plants, wildlife, and how to manage invasive plants, but you will also join a national effort to positively impact our communities.  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!

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 that 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.  

This event will be held at Noblitt Park near the Railroad track.  We will park at Noblitt Park  https://maps.app.goo.gl/YynFmDGXE8vSp7f28
