What's a Weed Wrangle?
Weed Wrangles ® are volunteer invasive species removal events
hosted nationwide to control the invasive plants that are negatively impacting
our public parks, green spaces and natural areas. Weed Wrangles® are led
by experts and include and education and hands on component. Volunteers
will learn how to manage the targeted invasive species and get to work as part
of a collaborative effort to improve a natural area.
Weed Wrangles® are often held repeatedly at the same location for two
reasons. First, invasive species management takes
time. Unfortunately removing these species is not a one and
done approach. Second, returning to work on the same site lets you see the
impact your efforts are having in the ecosystem.
Being part of a Weed Wrangle® is a fun way to learn, meet new people, and
make a difference in our environment!
