Invasive Species Blitz at Harrop Wetlands!

August 16 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Say ‘NO’ to invasives on Sunday Aug 16th at our Invasive Species Blitz!

On the chopping block:

  • Bull Thistle
  • Canada Thistle
  • Briar Rose

Invasive plants like bull thistle, Canada thistle, and briar rose crowd out native species and disrupt the delicate balance of this habitat. That’s where you come in!

Come learn to ID and remove these species hands-on, and leave knowing you’ve made a real difference for the native plants and wildlife of the Harrop Wetland! Help us protect this habitats biodiversity and restore the ecological balance.

Don’t forget to tell your friends! There will be freezies 👀

Please sign our waiver here!
