Volunteers will hike about a mile on the south river trail to a garlic mustard control area. Once there, we will do a final sweep of the invasive plant before it goes to seed!

No experience necessary. Please be sure to arrive on time. Volunteers should be prepared to cross a narrow wooden plank bridge.

Long-sleeve shirts, long pants and closed-toed shoes are highly recommended.

Register by emailing Tyler Lidgard at LidgardT@Michigan.gov.
