Led by the fun and knowledgeable weed-busting folk from East Kootenay Invasive Species Council, we’ll head out on trails, shoreline or access tracks around the East side of Columbia Lake, hunting for invasive species like knapweed to pull up and bag out.
Gloves, bags and all weed-identification training and guidance will be provided. It’s a chance to enjoy this beautiful area and give back at the same time. Removing invasive species helps prevent them from taking over ecosystems and crowding out native species that are forage for wildlife like the local bighorn sheep herd.
Meeting location and times TBC, check back here mid-May.
