Call for Broom Bash volunteers! Want to eradicate invasive French Broom, one of the most widespread and invasive wildland pest plants in California? Join other volunteers for a “Broom Bash” to clear French Broom from Fort Ord’s East Garrison, adjacent areas, and the Fort Ord National Monument.
Each Bash will focus on broom eradication in a particular location. Volunteer “weed warriors” armed with “weed wrenches” will uproot broom plants and strive for 100% eradication. Treated areas will be later planted with local wildflowers and shrubs. Treated areas will also be monitored to prevent brooms from reestablishing.
Prior registration is needed. Pre-register 4 days in advance by contacting John Mott at sustainableeastgarrison@gmail.com. Bring your gloves, water, and sunscreen.
