Join us to pull weeds for the Gallatin River!

​

Last year our volunteers pulled over 800 pounds of noxious weeds from sites along the Gallatin Canyon and had a blast doing it.  

 

Rendezvous at Moose Creek Campground for cinnamon rolls, coffee, and a volunteer raffle from Simms and Bozeman Brewing. Then we'll split into groups and head out to our assigned spots.

 

No worries if you're not confident on your plant ID, we'll have helpers at each site for you to ask before you pull!​

​

Find more details here.

​

​

 

Join us for a morning of exploring the natural world around you! This is an opportunity to start your day in nature, ask questions, learn about your local environment, and do it all with like-minded folks. ​​

​

Walks occur at plant-ID pace. We'll walk as far as time allows. We encourage you to bring water, appropriate layers, and a friend :)

​

Location: Hummocks & Uplands (Link to Google maps). 

 

​​​​​​​

​

​​

​

​

Join us and pull together for the park!

 

 Rendezvous at the River Pavilion (south of the softball field along the river) for instructions.

 

We'll pull weeds together and celebrate after with a BBQ and raffle!  

 

Don't worry if you're not a plant ID pro, we'll have helpers you can ask before you pull.
