Glacier Park’s Weed Blitz

The Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center and Glacier National Park invite volunteers for a day of hands-on learning during the Annual Noxious Weed Blitz on July 25. The event will take place from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. in West Glacier. 

Participants will join Vegetation and Integrated Pest Management Biologist Dawn LaFleur to learn about the ecological impacts of noxious weeds and how to identify and remove five targeted invasive plant species.

“Bring your muscles, gloves, appropriate footwear, sun hats, sunscreen and drinking water,” LaFleur said.

Glacier National Park Conservancy will provide a complimentary lunch to this year’s weed warriors. The event is free and open to the public. To register, RSVP by July 17 by emailing glac_citizen_science@nps.gov or by calling (406)888-7986.

Once registered, participants will receive specific details about meeting location and parking.

Glacier National Park Conservancy donors provide all funding for the park’s citizen science events. Visit the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center events page for more information about other learning opportunities offered to the public this summer.
