NEW!
Due to the outlook for afternoon rain, Task Force volunteers will begin setting up by 11 a.m. We expect the goats of Bright Hope Farm to be on site by 10 a.m. Feel free to come by early for a better chance of staying dry!
Join the JRPS Invasive Species Task Force to celebrate awareness week, starting with an all afternoon kick-off at Pony Pasture on Saturday, February 25.
