Game Plan:
We will meet at the East Glenwood parking lot for introductions, safety briefings, tool distribution, and hiking up to the work site together.
We'll begin pulling Dittrichia (common name Stinkwort) along the perimeter of the beetle pasture, working our way towards the red loop trail entrance. We’ll break for lunch around this area and end our day back at the parking lot at 1pm. If we wrap up our W**d pulling for the day by lunch, we’ll have the option to hike the red loop to end our day!
