SUMMARY:Burdock Burr Bash--Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:We need volunteers to remove the burrs from the burdock plants that are flourishing all over the park.  These velcro-like burrs not only stick to dog fur and create a nasty grooming hassle\, but they spread their seeds far and wide.  Unless we take action now\, while the seeds are still immature\, we will have even more burdocks next year.  Volunteers will be asked to cut off the burrs and place them in trash bags for disposal. \nWe also need help weeding the driveway beds and doing other cleanup tasks in the park. \nIf you can join us\, please bring pruners\, work gloves\, your favorite weeding tool and a small pruning saw if you have them — we have extras if you don’t!
