Join us at Fisher Slough to remove invasive blackberry and jewelweed. Himalayan blackberry is an invasive plant that requires removal since it competes for resources with native species. Technique involves cutting thorny shoots then digging out the root wads- requires some physical strength. The jewelweed onsite is small, easy to pull and requires no tools but will require frequent bending.
We will be outside for the entirety of the event and will require being on your feet for extended periods of time and bending down. This event is suitable for most ages.
Date: Friday, May 19th
Time: 10am-1pm
Where: Fisher Slough, near Conway, WA
