Hamilton County Parks Weed Wrangle
4/22/2020 from 1pm - 3pm

Potter's Bridge Park
19401 N Allisonville Road, Noblesville, IN 46060.

Hosted by: Hamilton County Parks and Recreation

Come help us restore the ecological health of Potter's Bridge Park on Earth Day! We will be removing invasive herbs and shrubs. This prevents them from crowding out native trees, shrubs and flowers and allows for replanting of native flora in hopes of creating a diverse ecosystem that will provide habitat that is vital to native wildlife. This project requires pulling and cutting. Gloves, long pants and sturdy shoes are recommended. Minors must have authorized parental permission.
Some snacks and water will be provided by our friends at Hamilton County Tourism. Our friends from Hamilton County Soil and Water will also be on hand to provide additional information and resources.
​
The park is located at 19401 N Allisonville Road, Noblesville, IN 46060. There is ample parking located within the park.

As a part of our Keep Fishers Beautiful initiative, volunteer at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve for our 16th Annual Spring Service Day!

Come ready to work and give our native plants a chance to survive for future generations to enjoy. We recommend that you wear long sleeves, long pants, closed toe shoes and bring gloves and a water bottle. Rain or shine. Learn more at ​www.playfishers.com/KFB

Fishers Weed Wrangle
5/2/2020 from 9am - 12 pm

Cheeney Creek Natural Area

Hosted by: Fishers Parks and Recreation

Weed Wrangle® events are hosted nationwide to gather volunteer effort to help control invasive plants that are negatively impacting our public parks, green spaces and natural areas. Community members learn to identify and control these invasive trees, shrubs, vines and plants through hands-on removal. Hamilton County is in the process of forming a CISMA (Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area) to combat the problem of invasive species spreading across the landscape. As a kickoff to the formation of our CISMA; many municipalities, parks departments, non-profits, businesses advocacy organizations and private land owners are hosting a Weed Wrangle® this spring. Join Fishers Parks & Recreation at Cheeney Creek Natural Area to take on some Garlic Mustard. We recommend that you wear long sleeves, long pants, closed toe shoes and bring gloves and a water bottle. Rain or shine.
