Invasive Weed Removal

Join us to clear out as much Buckthorn as we can from the trails behind Sam Sherratt School.

Buckthorn is a highly invasive plant that crowds out native vegetation, thereby providing poor habitation and food supplies for native wildlife. Join us to clear out as much as we can from Centennial Forest, starting at Coulson Park. 754 Coulson Avenue. Saturday, June 20, 10:00 – noon. Raindate, Sunday June 21. Volunteer hours available.

If you haven’t volunteered with us yet this year – all participants must complete waivers and permission forms, available at sustainablemilton.ca/events/#volunteering . If you are under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian MUST sign the permission form. Often these forms are sent to their email’s junk folder. PLEASE tell them to check there if they do not receive it, it MUST be signed to enable participation.

As always, dress for the weather. We highly recommend long sleeves and long pants. Closed shoes are a must. You’ll be “in the weeds” and clothing will protect you from scratches and ticks.
