Stewardship Half Day - Mashel River

Join us at our Mashel River Protected Area for a morning of pulling invasive Scotch Broom and Himalayan blackberry. These invasive weeds can crowd out native plants and prevent young saplings from growing. Controlling it helps native plant species to thrive.

• Volunteers and staff will maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet at all times.

• Volunteers and staff will wear a mask whenever we are gathered as a group. Once we are spread out and working you may choose to remove your mask, but you must put it back on any time you are interacting with another volunteer or staff member.

• Volunteers will supply their own gloves and masks whenever possible.

• Volunteers must not bring food to share with the group, even if it is an individually wrapped snack.

• Tools will be sanitized before each work party; volunteers and staff will continue to use the same tool throughout the work party and will not trade with others to prevent cross-contamination.
