Pull garlic mustard at Hampton Woods
ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River
Please visit the new page to apply.
Volunteers are needed to assist with hand-pulling invasive species from the forest floor on Tuesday, May 4, from 6-8 pm. We will focus our efforts on removing the extremely invasive plant garlic mustard . Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) staff will provide identification and removal guidance - no previous experience is necessary.
Hampton Woods is the largest continuous oak forest in southern Dakota County, providing critical habitat for forest-dwelling animals, especially birds. This site is especially important because much of the surrounding area is farmland.
All are welcome, but capacity is limited and registration is required. Learn more and sign up here: https://fmr.org/events/2021/05/04/pull-garlic-mustard-hampton-woods6 More opportunities with Friends of the Mississippi River
