Help remove garlic mustard, Dame’s rocket, parsnip, and hedge parsley from the woods and prairie areas. These invasive plants crowd out our native spring wildflowers, prairie plants, and grasses. Spring is a good time to remove them before they go to seed.

May 13, 2022 9 a.m. to noon
May 20, 2022 9 a.m. to noon
May 27, 2022 9 a.m. to noon
