Details
We're returning to this stretch to take out more wild parsnip!! We'll be working downstream from the bridge.
Why Are We Killing Wild Parsnips?
They are an invasive, poisonous plant that are actual functional riparian degraders by causing:
-
Increased erosion and sedimentation
-
Warmer water temperatures
-
Reduced habitat quality and food availability
-
A safety issue for anglers
What We Will Do
- Find 2nd year plants in flower
- Either hand pull or cut the plants 2-3 inches below grade & drop the plants.
What To Bring
- Long pants & long sleeve shirt (mandatory)
- Hat
- Heavy work gloves
- Water!
- A shovel or spade (just in case)
What TCTU Will Provide
- A safety briefing
- 6 Parsnips Killers (see the photo)
- Nitrile gloves to wear under your heavy work gloves
- Post event lunch at Hay Creek Saloon
Don't forget to check you email before you leave the house for any last minute details or cancelations.
