Glacier National Park is looking for “Weed Warriors” to join their BioBlitz event to remove invasive plants from the park. The event hosted by the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center (CCRLC) is scheduled for Thursday, July 25th. Volunteers will learn from experts on how to identify and remove five targeted invasive plant species in Glacier National Park before heading out in the park to weed. Participants are asked to bring their own gloves, wear proper hiking attire and bring plenty of drinking water. We know weeding can be chore but this is a very worthwhile cause and hope some of you can join. MORE INFO HERE:
