Please join us at West Mill Creek Park on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 9:00 to 11:30 for a work day to deal with burdock plants that are flourishing all over the park.  Burdocks form velcro-like burrs that stick to dog fur and create a nasty grooming hassle.  The burrs also contain seeds that proliferate the number of burdocks in the park.   Volunteers will be asked to cut burdock plants to the ground and load them onto tarps for disposal.  If we finish up the burdocks before the end of our session, we also need help with other weeding and cleanup tasks in the park.

If 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!
• wear suitable gardening clothes (long sleeves and long pants recommended)

As always, no experience is necessary, and light refreshments, camaraderie and the glow of doing a good deed are free!

PLEASE NOTE:

• If you need to confirm if the event is on or off due to weather, check the Events tab of our website.  Any last-minute cancellation will be announced there–otherwise we’re on.

• If you don’t see anyone when you arrive, we may be weeding elsewhere in the park.  Call or text  267-265-1202 and we’ll let you know where we are.
