Weed Warriors
Thursdays through Aug. 26
Have you got what it takes to be a weed warrior? OK, let’s be more specific— are you ready to help protect your canyons by volunteering to battle invasive weed species? If so, join the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation every Thursday this summer. Excursions will hit Mill Creek and Big and Little Cottonwood canyons. Organizers will provide training and tools, but volunteers need to bring their own sunscreen, water and work clothes.
Various locations, Thursdays through Aug. 26, 801-947- 8263, CottonwoodCanyons.org, volunteer@CottonwoodCanyons.org
