Connect to nature through service on National Public Lands Day with noxious weed education and a weed pull at Chief Plenty Coups State Park on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. to noon.
The morning will start with a presentation on the effects of noxious weeds on the local ecology and identify problem areas in the park with a Big Horn County Extension Agent. Following the presentation volunteers will complete a weed pull in the park.
Volunteers should wear weather-appropriate clothing and closed toe shoes, bring along gardening/work gloves (if you have them), sunscreen, and a water bottle. Tools and gloves will be provided. All volunteers will be treated to coffee, tea, and snacks for their service.
