Friends of the Shawnee National Forest, United States Department of Agriculture Shawnee National Forest, and Illinois Extension are partnering up to host garlic mustard pulls on
April 11th and
18th at
Trigg Tower. We will meet on these Fridays from
10 am - 12:30 pm. We will break into teams to hand-pull garlic mustard in impacted areas throughout southern Illinois. At these events, we will be hand-pulling and not apply herbicide.
Don't worry—these aren't all work and no-play days. We will be pulling garlic mustard from 10:00 am - 12:00. After we are done, there will be a short guided hike to learn more about the area's botany. These hikes are optional and will be from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.
