INVASIVE SPECIES WORKDAYS Help us combat invasive species in the parks! To eradicate the non-native species in our parks we are hosting workdays once a month throughout the summer. Last summer our Invasive Species Workday volunteers removed 2,700 gallons of invasive species! These efforts help the overall health of the parks and the ecosystem.
