Help Remove Invasive Phragmites (giant reed grass) at Cherokee Marsh State Natural Area

The Cherokee Marsh State Natural Area (SNA) is home to areas of high quality, diverse wetland flowers, sedges, and grasses. Join us in helping keep the wetlands clear of phragmites. We'll mainly focus on scattered resprouts in areas we've previously cleared. Volunteers are needed to use twine to tie the stalks in bundles. We will then cut the stalks above the twine and treat the cut ends.  If you're planning to attend, it's helpful if you let us know by responding to info@cherokeemarsh.org. We can then inform you of any cancellations or changes.
