The spookiest thing about Halloween is not ghosts or monsters.... It's INVASIVE SPECIES (ahhhhhh). But do not fret because you have the chance to be a plant buster. Come join us at the Lakeshore Nature Preserve as we work to remove invasive plants and maintain the beauty of the preserve. Get fresh air, meet new people, and enjoy the last of the fall colors!

When:

• Friday November 1^st from 1-3pm
• Please arrive 5-10 minutes early so we can get to know each other!
