Each year MC-IRIS chooses one invasive plant species on which to focus education and control efforts. 2019 was Asian bush honeysuckle, 2020 was purple wintercreeper. For 2022 we have chosen Callery Pear.
Join us to help reduce the amount of this invasive tree in Monroe County! Two groups of 20 volunteers are needed to tackle this task from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, May 21 at Karst Farm Park.
Individuals and groups can sign up to stop the spread of invasive seeds and to protect the Karst Farm Park in the Duckworth Pond area.
Bring your own water bottle, snacks and bug repellent. Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. Tools and gloves provided.
Rain date Sunday, June 5, 1-4pm. All ages welcome.
