Invasive plants like garlic mustard spread aggressively and cause significant damage to our native plants and animals. Help rangers remove this "nasty" plant before it takes over! Meet the group at the Lupton Access (1191 Lupton Rd. Woodstock) to get all the knowledge and supplies you will need. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring water. There will be a task for every age and ability during this work day. No experience necessary. Prices will be given to the group/family that fills the most trash bags!
