WEED WARRIORS UNITE AND GET A FREE LUNCH!
The Grand Canyon Trust, Museum of Northern Arizona, Arizona Native Plant Society, Coconino County Master Gardeners, and other organizations in the neighborhood of north Flagstaff have teamed up this summer to tackle the growing populations of invasive, non-native plants in the historic area of Fort Valley Road and Highway 180.
If we would like to see more beautiful native plants growing in our neighborhoods, we have to see fewer invasive species growing in our neighborhoods!!!!
Please join our growing team of volunteer weed warriors and plant enthusiasts to eradicate invasive weeds on Thursday, August 11, 2011 from 8 am-11am. This will be the second of three weed pulls along Fort Valley Road.
We are looking forward to great success with your help! It's fun, good exercise and so-o-o-o-o satisfying. Bring all your friends.
Meet at the Grand Canyon Trust homestead, 2601 N Fort Valley Road, just north of the new fire station. We will introduce ourselves and distribute tools and materials needed for a fun day of weed removal.
The Trust provides a light lunch and some snacks!!
Please wear closed-toe shoes, and bring rain gear, a hat, gloves, water and sunscreen.
Go to www.grandcanyontrust.org for more information. Then, click on "volunteer" and sign up to participate. Sign up late or have time open up last minute? No problem, volunteers welcome day of, just be sure to fill out the registration form upon arrival.
