Celebrate Earth Day 2026 by sequestering a herbaceous menace! Garlic Mustard is one of the most common invasive species in North America and crowds out the more desirable native species of wildflowers.
If you love spring ephemerals, fight in their corner by pulling garlic mustard!
Edit: By popular demand, we're making this a Garlic Pull AND Trash Sweep! We'll have trash grabbers available for folks who would like to collect the blown in trash from along Croyden and Drake.
Meet at the Oshtemo Rotary Pavillion at 10:00. Supplies will be provided but feel free to bring your own gloves and trash bags if you would like!
