Join the Friends of McAllister Park and assist with Johnson grass removal.
Johnson grass is considered one of the 10-most noxious weeds in the world! And we've got it in McAllister Park. Help us keep McAllister Park beautiful by slowing the spread of this terrible weed!
The seeds are easily spread by water, and many of the hot spots in the park are at stormwater drainages where water comes in from neighborhoods and roads around the park. This weed is so bad though, it not only spreads by seeds, but also by underground rhizomes.
The areas identified are small enough for hand trimming of the seed heads, and hand pulling of the underground rhizomes.
When: Sunday, October 16
Timeframe: 8AM - 10AM
Meeting location: Meet at Al Becken Pavilion in McAllister Park
Please wear long pants and active wear, closed toed shoes. Please bring a reusable water bottle and an extra set of work gloves if you have them.
