Weed Wrangle® is a one-day, state-wide, volunteer effort to help rescue our public parks and green spaces from non-native invasive species through hands-on removal of especially harmful trees, vines, and flowering plants. Join us at Rock Island's Weed Wrangle® to learn, practice and begin a habit of maintaining an area free of non-native invasive plants and encourage replanting with natives in removal areas. We will be using loppers and pullers to cut and remove unwanted invasives in the park like Chinese privet, kudzu, Autumn Olive, and multiflora rose.
Projects will vary depending on need and number of volunteers.
We will cancel for inclement weather. However, we will work in light rain/snow and temperatures above freezing.
Please dress appropriately and bring water! We have gloves but you can also bring your own. Children are welcomed but must be supervised by adults the entire time.
