LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Mark your calendar – the Lake County Weed Management Area is hosting its 12th annual “Invasive Weeds Tour” on Thursday, July 23.
The tour is free and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
The third week of July is California’s annual “Invasive Weed Awareness Week.”
This statewide program is designed to educate citizens about the undesirable effects and impacts of non-native invasive weeds.
Participants will gather at the Anderson Marsh ranch house at 9 a.m. for a guided walk of just over 2 miles to see the amazingly diverse array of invasive plants that flourish in the park and the effects of control mechanisms such as control burns.
At the end of the tour, lunch will be served under the trees, followed by a discussion of aquatic invasive weeds.
Please RSVP by calling Katherine at 707-263-0217 no later than July 20.
The tour is sponsored by Lake County Department of Agriculture, the Lake County Department of Water Resources, and the East Lake Resource Conservation District.
The end-of-tour lunch is free but donations to help offset the cost of lunch and refreshments will be greatly appreciated and cheerfully accepted.
