Yellow Star Thistle. Ouch!

The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District will host a volunteer project to remove invasive, non-native yellow star thistle. The event will take place Saturday, July 14, from 8:30am to 1:30pm.

Volunteers and District rangers will be hand-pulling invasive, non-native yellow star thistle. Hand-pulling is an effective technique to use on this invasive weed at this time of year.

Location and directions will be provided when you sign up, but the release promises "incredible views from the Santa Cruz Mountains". Refreshments, instruction, and all of the necessary project tools will be provided. No experience is necessary. Individuals, families, and friends are all welcome. To sign up, or for more information, contact [email protected] or call 650.691.1200.
