Wilderness Weed Watchers Program trains volunteers to identify, map and control invasive species along backcountry trails and campsites. Volunteers gain skills in plant identification, enjoy scenic hikes and contribute important data to the U.S. Forest Service. During the 2013 and 2014 field seasons (generally late June-early October), volunteers will focus survey efforts on trails in the Mt. Baker, Noisy-Diosbud, Boulder River, William O., Clearwater and Norse Peak Wilderness Areas, spanning from the northern reaches of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest to the southern terminus of the forest near Mt. Rainier National Park.
Required Equipment
Bagged lunch and snacks for the day. Clothing to be outside (we won't really go on any hikes, but will walk outside around the property to ID invasive weeds).
