Invasive Species Removal at Antrim Creek Natural Area
Invasive Species Removal at Antrim Creek Natural Area
About This Event
Help GTRLC and CAKE CISMA restore and protect the incredible ecosystems of Antrim Creek Natural Area through invasive plant removal! Native wildflowers, mushrooms, trees, and shrubs that rely on these healthy habitats are currently under threat of being displaced by aggressive invasive plants. For this work session we will focus on removing spotted knapweed, bladder campion, and baby’s breath from the beach and dunes.
The Basics:
GTRLC will supply gloves and any tools necessary for the work session. We will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, healthy habitats, and the importance of the work you will be doing. No prior experience necessary - just come ready to learn something new! This activity is moderately strenuous, with volunteers often bending and kneeling to pull or dig out plants. Porta johns are available at the parking area.
Directions:
Please meet us at the South trailhead for Antrim Creek Natural Area.
