Weed Watchers Training
April 10, 2010, 10AMto 2PM
Weed watchers survey trails and roadsides for new weed populations,
discovering invasive plants before they become well-established. If you
have an interest in botany, mapping or hiking consider joining our weed
watcher program and become trained in vegetation monitoring. Your time
and knowledge helps combat the threat of invasive plants on the
watershed. Weed watchers must be at least 18 years old. Call or e-mail
for an application.

of friends! We provide breakfast snacks, water, tools, instruction and
