SUMMARY:Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: White Tank – Invasive Species Removal
DESCRIPTION:Desert Defender volunteers needed! Join us in removing invasive species and reducing the wildfire risk in Maricopa County Regional Parks.\n\nParticipants will learn to identify several invasive species, their phenology and characteristics, and how to remove these invasive plants effectively.  Meet at the Area 4 Parking Lot.\nThe goal is to remove invasive plants as a proactive step towards ecological habitat enhancement and to reduce wildfire risk.\nPlease bring work gloves, water, and a snack. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and closed-toed shoes. This event includes hiking on natural trails. Participants must be 13 years or older to participate in these events. If you are 13-17, you will need to be accompanied by an adult, or you will need to be accompanied by a waiver and transportation provided by an adult.\nNote:  We reserve the right to cancel at least one day before. If canceled, email notifications will go to the registrants.\nParticipants who attend four or more Desert Defenders will receive a Desert Defender neon yellow t-shirt and become part of our Desert Defender Community. Please let the leader of your 3rd event know when your fourth event is and your size, we will do our best to coordinate to have your T-shirt at the park for the event.\nIf the event requires a hike that is steep mountain climb or more than 3 miles of hiking, the registered participants will be notified at least 2 days before the event.\nWe appreciate corporate-sponsored events. If you want this event to become a corporate-sponsored event, and your group has more than the allowed number of participants, please contact Bill Klewer (parkvolunteer@maricopa.gov) immediately, and if you contact us at least 20-30 days before the scheduled event, we will do our best to accommodate your group.\nTo register, please click on the link https://signup.com/go/akSNyFA ( https://signup.com/go/akSNyFA )\n\n
