Contact Friends of the Mississippi River for event and ticket information.
Saturday, April 25, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (CT)
Enjoy the beauty of a spring morning along the Mississippi River at Macalester College's Katharine Ordway Field Station in Inver Grove Heights while participating in a research project to study the impacts of the non-native species, garlic mustard, and results of removal on native plant populations. This plant is very easy to identify and pull by hand or with a weeder tool.
Volunteers will receive brief training in identification and removal methods. You should wear sturdy shoes or boots and appropriate clothing for working in a wooded area and kneeling on damp ground in cool weather. Gloves and weeder tools will be provided, but please bring your own if you have them. Children are welcome with parents or guardians, but will need to bring their own gloves. A light lunch will also be provided.
