2019 National Invasive Species Awareness Week
Join members of the JRPS Invasive Plant Task Force, starting Feb. 24, 2019 for a week full of events designed to raise awareness, highlight solutions and provide hands-on opportunities for you to join the campaign to remove invasive species from the Park. Activities will be held in multiple locations throughout the park system and include botanist-guided walks, observing goats as they munch offending plants or getting in on that action by helping free-a-tree.
