Weed Warriors
Want to help remove weeds from local parks, or other open spaces? Don’t want to commit to a set number of events you are “required” to do? Then join our weed warrior’s team. You can help as little as one weed pull a summer or as much as one weed pull a month. If you want to get more education you can sign up to take our 2 hr weed warrior classes that will be offered throughout the summer. Please contact Dana for more information and to be placed on our email list to receive periodic updates about events in your region.
