Participant Quotes
I think that this program builds a sense of community. Everyone who attended was very kind and willing to help despite how cold it was outside. People really enjoyed going outside and helping the local environment.
I enjoyed the teamwork with a great bunch of people!
This program positively impacts natural parks and helps the community learn about the negative impacts of invasive plants on native species.
