Volunteer: Weed Warriors - Killens Pond State ParkAre you interested in helping to reduce the
threat of invasive plants to the land and resources that we have been entrusted
to protect and manage?
Fortunately, public consciousness about the harms of invasive plants — plants not native to the region that grow aggressively, compete with native plants for resources, and displace native plants — continues to rise. Volunteers help to meet this challenge and thus make a significant difference in Killens Pond State Park’s quest to manage invasive plants. We are eager to work with like-minded people who are passionate or want to learn more about this issue. So please join us on the 3rd Saturday of each month, from 10 AM to 12 PM for a rewarding morning of volunteer work removing invasive plants!
