Volunteer Event – Noxious Weed Pull

Posted July 17, 2018 at 5:46 am by

Here’s an invitation from the Land Bank to help with their work party this weekend…

Join us THIS Saturday for a rousing round of weeding. We’ve made great headway in weed control on Mount Grant the last few years – thanks to many volunteers, the San Juan Island Youth Conservation Corps, Northwest Youth Corps, and other partners. We would love your help Saturday to continue the good work. We will primarily be working with tansy ragwort, Bull thistle, and Scot’s broom.

  • When?
    Saturday, July 21
    9:00 am to Noon*
  • Where?
    Mount Grant Preserve
    Meet at parking lot
  • What?
    Noxious weed pull
  • Bring/Wear:
    Gloves, sturdy footwear, and drinking water. Long pants and tall boots recommended to reduce grass seed riddled socks.

The Land Bank will provide some hand pruners, hand tools, buckets, and plastic bags as well as snacks.

*Note: We’ll be working along the main road/trail loop in a counter clockwise orientation if you want to join along the way!
