Let's Pull Together - Jackson County
2019-06-08 09:00 - 13:00 | Rogue River Preserve, Eagle Point, OR
A silent invasion of weeds is taking over some of our beautiful Oregon landscapes. The Jackson & Josephine Cooperative Weed Management Areas are sponsoring three educational community events in Cave Junction, Grants Pass, and Eagle Point this spring. Join us with friends, family, and fellow nature enthusiasts as we pull together to clear noxious weeds from our parks and along our rivers. Bring work gloves if you have them. Register and more information at rogueweeds.info. Volunteers will receive free snacks, t-shirts, and prizes.
Noxious weeds are non-native invasive species which threaten our natural areas. They crowd out native plants, reduce food for wildlife, impair pollinator habitat, degrade our natural heritage, and increase fire danger.
