Richard Jones Park Invasive Plant Removal
May 23 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Help Control the Spread of Invasive Plants
Join us, and friends from Rotary Club of Mississauga Meadowvale and UTM Rotaract Club, to help control the spread of invasive plants in Richard Jones Park. Participants will help remove invasive plants that are affecting the survival of native plants and animals. These actions help restore habitat for our native wildlife to survive and allow a more diverse ecosystem to thrive.
We will use tools such as shovels and extractigators to remove small and medium-sized invasive shrubs like buckthorn, honeysuckle. We will also be hand pulling to remove small invasive plants like garlic mustard. Volunteers are welcome to select which activity they participate in.
Help make the Cooksville SNAP neighbourhood more sustainable and ready for a changing climate. This event is part of Cooksville Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (SNAP)
