Garlic Mustard Pulling at Yahara Heights

Help make room for wildflowers by pulling invasive garlic mustard at Cherokee Marsh. No experience needed. Garlic mustard pulling is a great way to get out and spend time in the woods while also helping the native wildflowers, grasses, and sedges thrive. We'll be pulling garlic mustard plants by hand or using dandelion digger tools. The work site is about a .2 mile walk from the meeting location.

This workday is led by volunteer Land Stewards; please direct workday questions to the contact listed below.
