July 24 @ 8:45 am – 11:00 am
Join Clean Lakes Alliance and the City of Madison Parks team remove invasive species at Door Creek Park on Thursday, July 24th from 8:45 – 11:00 a.m.
By controlling invasive species, volunteers enable the growth of more beneficial native vegetation, thereby improving the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb stormwater runoff, and filter harmful contaminants from reaching the lakes, recharge aquifers, stabilize shorelines, mitigate erosion, and provide wildlife and pollinator habitat.
All volunteers are welcome, including chaperoned children. Tools, gloves, and training will be provided to all. We’ll review what plants we’re targeting and how our actions will improve water quality.
All volunteers are required to wear closed-toed shoes and pants. Long layers are recommended to best protect yourself from the sun, bugs, and scratches. We encourage you to bring a water bottle and sun protection.
We’ll meet at the Door Creek Park shelter.
