About

Mark your calendar to tackle some non-native, invasive species on Saturday, February 24, from 1:00- 4pm! Working together as a community, we all can make a positive difference for native habitats and wildlife. There will be 4 sites this year where you can volunteer and participate in this community-wide event.
