Garlic Mustard Pulls - 2022
Volunteers Needed
This year, 2022, our focus will be the boardwalk. Except for May 12 (during the Biggest Week) when we'll concentrate on the parking lot and the estuary trail.
More Information
Thankfully, garlic mustard plants are easy to pull, so come on out and give us a hand.
We'll pull Garlic Mustard from noon to 3 pm.
Our efforts are coordinated with Kelly Schott, ODNR - Division of Wildlife communications specialist at Magee Marsh.
Plan to meet Kelly (or her assistant) at the observation deck by the west entrance of the boardwalk at noon to sign a liability release form. We are NOT permitted to pull garlic mustard outside of the scheduled times or without a signed liability release.
When done for the day, please sign out with Kelly or the supervising ODNR staff member by the observation deck. Leave your garbage bags full of garlic mustard by the observation deck.
