Stewardship Saturday: Garlic Mustard Pull-A-Thon

Description

The Friends of Havenwoods State Forest and DNR will be hosting events as part of the Southeast Wisconsin Invasive Species Consortium’s annual Garlic Mustard Pull-A-Thon! During these events, volunteers will assist with removing garlic mustard and dame’s rocket from various areas throughout Havenwoods State Forest. Collectively, the goal throughout the southeast region is to remove 20,000lbs of invasives in the 11th year of this event.

Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and dress for the weather. If you have a pair of work gloves to use, great! If not, we’ll have some to borrow for the day! Please bring your own water bottle (water bottle filling stations are available in the nature center).

The Friends of Havenwoods’ participation in this event also serves as a fundraiser to help support invasive species removal, with 50% of funds raised benefiting the Friends of Havenwoods and the remaining 50% to support SEWISC’s training workshops and grants for invasive species control.
