Description

Join us as we work to eradicate invasive plants from Hamilton County at West Park in Carmel! During the fall, we’ll be at different parks working to remove plants like Bradford pear, bush honeysuckle, burning bush, and autumn olive. Feel free to join for one, two, or all three of these awesome one-day opportunities!

Volunteers under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

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!
