Garlic Mustard Mowdown, Mounds State Park

Get your group together (no more than 5 people per group) and see how many invasives you can find at Mounds State Park and pull in 90 minutes. Winning team will receive prizes and bragging rights. There will be a short program to help you identify invasive plants and tell you why we want them eradicated! The orientation program and Group Registration will begin at 9:00 am at the Mounds State Park Nature Center, and the pull time will be between 10:00 am and 11:30 am.
