The Great Weed Roundup with Summit Land Conservancy

About this event

Summit Land Conservancy and Summit County are looking for motivated volunteers to help us uproot noxious weeds! With spring fully in swing, join us for our next Stewardship Saturday at Miss Billie’s Preserve (Summit Community Gardens)! We will be pulling invasive dyer's woad, thistle, and white top while they are in bloom and before they can release their seeds. These are all aggressive, introduced plants that grow rapidly and create dense thickets which crowd out our native grasses and wildflowers. When we remove these weeds, we help to restore our local grassland ecosystem and ensure that native plants can thrive and support the wildlife that depends on them.This project will require using gardening tools and manual pulling to stop the spread of these weeds in their tracks. Participants should bring clothing suitable for a full day outside (long pants, long sleeves, sun protection, warm layers, hat, sunglasses, and sturdy shoes), gardening gloves if you have them, along with a water bottle and snacks. Summit Land Conservancy will bring coffee, bagels and cold refreshments to keep you caffeinated, fueled and hydrated while you work!...
