If
you want lunch, please RSVP by May

Greetings, All,
Volunteers are needed at the Pioneer Museum and Coconino Center for the Arts on Saturday, May 9.
In 2010 volunteers from the Master Gardeners and AZ Native Plant Society began a sustained effort to eradicate a huge, dense population of Diffuse knapweed on the properties. In the early years we gathered many times a year, and hauled out dozens of huge, heavy bags of weeds. Thank you.
This year the job continues, but the invasive plants are under control and manageable, and two work days are likely all we will need. We will "Get 'em when they're young." We especially need Master Gardeners and AZ Native Plant Society members to lead the charge in small work groups and keep novices on track. Can you help?
A short orientation to Diffuse knapweed and a few other on-site invasive plants will begin the day, and proper eradication techniques will be demonstrated. Information cards on non-native, invasive weeds will be made available to volunteers via email.
WHEN: Saturday, May 9. From 9 until noon.
WHAT: Invasive Plant Education and Weed-out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE: Pioneer Museum and Coconino Center for the Arts on Fort Valley Road (Highway 180) next to Sechrist School.
WHY: So native plants can be restored to the area, and seeds will no longer be spread all over the city and county on the tires of visitors.
WHAT TO BRING: Shovel or hand trowel; gloves; water; mid-morning snacks; clothing appropriate to the weather, sunscreen. Wear closed-toe shoes. If you like to rake, you can help to rake up and bag pine needles.
WHAT NOT TO BRING: Lunch. Lunch will be provided by the Flagstaff Family Food Center for those who want one.
RSVP: If you would like the lunch, please respond to this email by Sunday, May 3, so we can order the correct number of lunches. If you don't want the lunch, just show up.
We're looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 9.
