Time: 8:00 AM Utah Time - 11:00 AM Utah Time
Join Bureau of Land Management staff in removing weeds on Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Johnson Canyon. We will be cutting and bagging flowers and seed heads of Scotch thistle, a noxious weed that can spread dramatically if not controlled. Bring work gloves, pruning shears (short), and trimmers (longer) if you have some to use or to share (good to put your name on them). Help protect and restore our public lands and enjoy the beauty of Johnson Canyon.
