Invasive Species Task Force

In August and September of this year, directed by State Parks Resource Specialist Irene Frentz and Friends of Pocahontas member Ben Hedges, a series of invasive plant control sessions was conducted to remove Japanese Stillgrass from the park.  To capitalize on the success of those sessions, Irene and Ben would like to organize an on-going invasive plant control volunteer task force for Pocahontas.  These volunteers would continue to help with control of the various invasive plants in the park on a regularly scheduled basis.

A meeting has been scheduled by Irene and Ben at the Heritage Center,on November 9 at 9am, to discuss and define the who, what, how and when parameters for this activity.  All current park volunteers who have an interest in helping control invasive plants in the park are invited to participate in this discussion.
