Join our Natural Areas staff for a Women and Gender Minorities Weed Workday. This workday is focused on creating a safe space for women and gender minorities to learn about habitat restoration and make connections together.

During these summer workdays, staff and volunteers work to restore land by removing invasive weeds from desirable habitat. View our Invasive Weed Removal webpage here for more information.
