Volunteer Day - Invasive Weed Management

If you are interested in giving back to the community, then you are at the right place! Join us for an invasive weed pull day in Alta! The temperatures will be cool and the company pleasant. Bring your friends and family!

Invasive weeds crowd out native plant species and impair the habitat. Both Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon supply up to 60% of the drinking water to the Salt Lake Valley. The presence of invasive weeds populations is detrimental to the water quality, cause biodiversity reduction, habitat loss, increases erosion, and inhibit growth of native plants. By removing invasive weeds we help create an environment in which proper water filtration can occur and biodiversity is maintained. Volunteers will help remove invasive weeds on one plot of land near in Alta, UT.  

Volunteers should be able to walk over uneven ground, bend over for extended periods, work outdoors in a variety of conditions, and comply with the safety guidelines.

After the event, join us for a light lunch. 

Location: We will meet outside of the Snowpine Lodge on the east side of the lodge.

Please bring leather gloves, water, and any snacks that might be needed for the day. We will provide the necessary tools and instructions on what plants to pull. 

Please complete the below volunteer waiver form prior to the event.
