Participants should meet at 9:30 a.m. at Majenica Marsh to fill water bottles and eat a provided snack. A 10 a.m. presentation by Slack on invasive species and how to better manage them will conclude with a hands-on workshop. Participants may choose to work and finish at noon or work throughout the day until 3:30 p.m., and may choose to bring a sack lunch.

This is phase one of a two-phase project. The second phase will involve planting seeds of native pollinators at a later date. Participants should plan to dress for the weather, wear close-toed shoes, bring water bottles and sunscreen, and wear sun-protective gear.

In the event of rain, the hands-on plant removal workshop will be on April 13 at the same time.
