Water Hemlock Data Collection & Removal

This work party is a combination of education, community science, and physical effort. Training will occur prior to the activity. If data collection is more your speed (less strenuous), come for the education and community science part. We need volunteers to note the location of water hemlock in the BBR waterways.
