Discovery Park - South Meadow Scotch Broom …12/28/2024

Activities

Did you know that cutting young scotch broom in wintertime doesn't hurt them one bit. But pulling them out of the wet loose soil is 100% effective. Scotch broom really stands out this time of year (especially in the brown meadows) and are easy to pull in the wet soils. We've got extractigators, weed wrenches, uprooters and heavy-duty shovels to remove these prolific pests.

Adults only

6 out of 10 participants registered.

What to Bring

Gloves, work boots, weather appropriate clothes and something to stay hydrated. (I have some loaner gloves if you don't have your own) I recommend a long-johns thermal layer; the meadow tall grass is guaranteed to get us wet. We will take a water break halfway through the event. Please bring a pack for carrying water and shed layers since we will be roaming throughout the day.

Where to Meet

Meet at the large black cistern 800' west of the large white radar tower. The cistern is on the west end of the parade grounds. 47.657661, -122.416956
This is a 10-minute walk from the south parking lot (please allow enough time to walk to and from the meeting site). If you're late, look for us in the south meadow or give me a call.
