Invasive Species Removal at Mitchell Creek Meadows
Invasive Species Removal at Mitchell Creek Meadows
Help us restore and protect the incredible ecosystems of Mitchell Creek Meadows: The Don and Jerry Oleson Nature Preserve through invasive plant removal! Native wildflowers, mushrooms, trees, and shrubs that rely on this healthy habitat are currently under threat of being displaced by aggressive invasive plants.
GTRLC will supply gloves and tools. Our team will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, and invasive species identification and removal. No prior experience is 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. There is access to restrooms and drinking water at this site.
What we recommend bringing:
Dress for the weather! Always check the forecast in advance
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes that can handle some mud
Bring a reusable water bottle and some snacks
Sunscreen and bug spray for your safety and comfort
Your favorite pair of work gloves, if preferred
Location: Please meet us by the greenhouse/workshop area near the Conservation Center at Mitchell Creek Meadows Nature Preserve.
