Thanks to the Weed Warriors for learning how to identify and remove invasive species from Buddy Attick Park!

Weed Warriors are taught how to identify Oriental bittersweet and Porcelainberry before restoring the shoreline at Buddy Attick Park. On July 1, four volunteers removed enough invasive species to fill an entire dump truck!

Thanks to those who volunteered for Weed Warriors on Wednesdays in July 2015! We couldn’t have done it without you.
