Weed Wrangle 2020

To Be Determined.

Roan Mountain State Park once again joins in the state-wide Weed Wrangle event to combat non-native species of plants and restore our beautiful mountain landscape. Join us for a day of volunteering as we remove various unwanted vegetation and replace it with beautiful native plants. Times and details will soon be available, so be sure to check back! 

Volunteers must register online at:  https://stateoftennessee.formstack.com/forms/weed_wrangle_2020_rsvp_form and meet at the Park Visitor Center the morning of Saturday, March 7.    

Weed Wrangle® is a one-day, area-wide, volunteer effort to help rescue our public parks and green spaces from non-native invasive species through hands-on removal of especially harmful trees, vines, and flowering plants. Supervised by an expert in invasive weed management, Weed Wrangle® volunteers learn, practice and begin a habit of maintaining an area free of non-native invasive plants and encourage replanting with natives in removal areas. By engaging our neighbors and challenging them to take action in their own spaces, we hope to create a movement that will have the greatest impact on the invasive plant population.

Meet at Visitor Center Porch.
