ORGANIZATION: Lakeside's River Park Conservancy

Weed Warrior
Herbicide Applicator Assistant out in the field to rid the River Park from invasive plants.

The River Park needs plant enthusiasts to help maintain our new property at Cactus Pond. The property is currently overgrown with invasive plant species and we need help to remove the invasives to make room for healthy native species.

Current plant knowledge not required, we can train you. You just need to have a passion for nature and be able to navigate natural, often unlevel terrain.

We are looking for volunteers on an ongoing basis who are available from 7:00am-11am Tuesday-Friday.
