SUMMARY:Invasive Plant Removal Workday
DESCRIPTION:SGPA’s Environmental Stewardship Committee helps to steward the park by removing invasive\, non-native species (learn more\, HERE). You can lend a hand to this important effort by joining as a volunteer. Projects will vary by week\, but generally include pulling\, cutting\, and otherwise removing invasive plants from around the park. \n\n\n\nThose looking for lighter work can assist by tending to the pollinator garden.

From there\, we will move to specific work areas around the park\, and conclude work at approximately 11:30am. \n\n\n\nSGPA will supply any tools or equipment needed\, and will provide training and oversight. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes\, dress appropriately for the weather\, and bring work gloves and water. \n\n\n\nInclement weather cancels this workday.
