Removal activities will include cutting and bagging seed heads (relatively low impact activity) and using a technique called spading to cut stems below the ground (slightly higher impact activity). Come prepared with weather appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear. If you have them available, we encourage you to bring your own work gloves and/or clippers and spades.
All volunteers will need to sign a waiver on site. For volunteers who are 17 or younger, a parent or guardian will need to be present on site to sign. Or, if you would like a form sent to you to have signed beforehand, please email
