SPECIAL WEEDING EVENT

By Ken Himes

We have scheduled a special event on Saturday November 6 from 9 am to noon to remove Bristly ox-tongue, Picris echioides, from the yampah and caryx meadows near the west kiosk.

These meadows have nearly returned to their native condition thanks to 10 years worth of volunteer efforts. Some of us can remember when the ox-tongue was chest-high and crowded out nearly everything. Now the yampah meadow has become one of the most pristine habitats at Edgewood.

However, ox-tongue is a persistent biennial, and there are still plants that need to be removed. Meet at the Edgewood trailhead at the intersection of Edgewood Road and Cañada Road, or find us near the west kiosk. Bring water and sun screen. Gloves and tools will be provided.
