Join us alongside our mighty herd of Myotonic goats for the annual "Weed Wrangle" volunteer event. The task of managing invasive non-native species in our park is a year round activity for us that is critical to our regenerative efforts there. On this day you can work with our team to learn about tools and methods for control, as well as how to identify some of the plants that present the greatest threat to our urban ecosystems. Dress for some intense physical labor, bring a water bottle, and be ready to #GROW your knowledge about invasives with us.
*There is no running water or electricity at GROW. Volunteers should bring their own water bottles and charge their phones before arrival. Volunteers should wear protective clothing appropriate for outdoor work including: pants to protect legs, closed-toed shoes, breathable layered shirts for comfort in outdoor weather and protection from sun/brambles/stinging insects.
**Please note: Volunteers should park in the small GROW parking lot, located at the Northern edge of Two Rivers Park near the Stones River Greenway. Entrance to our roadway is across from the dog park (look for the green balusters.) You must drive between the green posts and follow the roadway to the left to find our parking area. From there, it is a short 3 minute walk past the gate to the worksite where one of our volunteer coordinators will meet you.
