Join us to take back the trailside from pesky blackberries and other unwanted weeds!
We will work in this sunny stretch of trail to free up native salmonberry and huckleberry in this favorite birding spot and entrance trail to our beautiful forest.
Tools and gloves provided but please dress in clothes which could get dirty and wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes or boots.
This opportunity is best for ages 12+ because we will mostly be working with blackberries and blackberries bite back!
Come back in the fall for planting on November 15th for an all-ages opportunity!
Great opportunity to earn community service hours for school!
Meet on the trail across from the back of the Zoo Maintenance buildings on North Animal Loop Rd.
