James Peak Invasive Weed Removal

For the past ten years, VOC volunteers have worked together to eliminate hundreds of thousands of oxeye daisy flowers and seeds at the East Portal access point to the James Peak Wilderness. These efforts have kept this aggressive and highly destructive weed from advancing into the Wilderness Area. As a result, diverse ecosystems in the area are much healthier, and a variety of native plants are making a stunning comeback. Volunteers this year will continue the effort and pull and dig oxeye daisy at the trailhead and nearby areas, using gloves and hand tools. Join us on this family-friendly project to help eradicate this noxious weed and maintain the natural integrity of this incredible landscape. The site will say the project is full, but we have reserved spots for families and youth, so sign up on the waitlist.

A free light lunch will be provided.
