West Glacier, MT – Join the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center and Glacier National Park’s restoration and integrated pest management biologist, Dawn LaFleur, for the park’s annual Noxious Weed Blitz. The Weed Blitz is scheduled for Tuesday, July 17, 2018 from 10 am – 4 pm. Participants will meet at the Glacier National Park Community Building in West Glacier.
Participants will learn about the ecological impacts of noxious weeds and how to identify and remove five targeted invasive plant species. Bring your muscles, gloves, appropriate footwear, and drinking water.
Lunch will be provided by the Glacier National Park Conservancy. Please RSVP by July 12, 2018 by emailing glac_citizen_science@nps.gov or calling (406) 888-7986.
If I lived near the park, I’d do this every year to help get rid of weeds, get some exercise, and meet other people who care about the park.
Malcolm's Round Table 
The park is headed for another record attendance this year, so maybe there will be a lot of participants.
A lot of weeders: that will help. However, I keep hoping they will figure out a fair way of limiting the visitor count. Sun Road is a traffic jam and the popular trails are crowded as well.
There was a story on that in the local news tonight. People are loving the park to death. I don’t see a viable solution.
I don’t see a viable solution either.
