of Canonchet Farm Volunteers needed to help remove invasive plants that are crowding out native plants, reducing the value of the vegetation to filter out pollutants from runoff into the lake. Volunteers are needed to continue this work through the summer every other Tuesday evening from 5 to 7 PM. The dates are May 29, June 12 and 26, July 10 and 24, August 7 and 21. Volunteers will learn how to identify invasive plants and remove them. Tools and instruction on their proper use, drinks and food will be provided. There are jobs for all levels of ability as support staff and ground crew. More information about the Lake Canonchet Invasive Plant Control
Program and supporting information about invasive plants and
their removal can be found on the Habitat Restoration page
of the Friends
