Hike in the beautiful Hoosier National Forest and pull small populations of Japanese stiltgrass as you go! ~ what we do matters ~
Join us partnering with Sierra Club Hoosier Chapter, MC-IRIS, and Hoosier National Forest to control Japanese Stiltgrass at Pate Hollow or Hayes Trail in the Hoosier National Forest. The first two dates will be initial 6 mile assessment hikes to identify the Japanese Stiltgrass and to plan our future weed wrangles here.
Tuesdays: July 8 Pate Hollow, July 15 Hayes Trail, July 22 Pate Hollow, Aug 12 Pate Hollow Saturdays: Aug 2 Hayes Trail, Aug 9 Pate Hollow, Aug 16 Hayes Trail
We've been collaborating with the Hoosier National Forest for 5 years and have seen a remarkable reduction in the invasive Japanese Stiltgrass. The trails are clear of the invasive weed and we can freely enjoy the wildflowers, and stunning hardwood forests.
It is tick season, so be prepared with long pants and shirt, hat and wear shoes with closed toes. Bug spray is a good idea. Bring drinking water and snacks.
