Weed wrangle in Fortville coming up
FORTVILLE – A weed wrangle is coming up at the Vernon Township Community Gardens, helping rid the public space of invasive species.
Community volunteers are needed for the event at the Vernon Township Office, 602 Vitality Drive, Fortville from 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 28.
Hosted by Purdue Extension of Hancock County, the group will focus on the invasive pear trees in the wet area and honeysuckle behind the building. Bring gloves, wear waterproof shoes since it may be wet, and dress for the weather. Other suggested items to bring: loppers, eye protection (some will be provided) and a small hatchet.
The mission is to increase knowledge and awareness about the threat that invasive plant species have on the local environment. Through this knowledge, the hope is to motivate everyone to take action to make their home landscapes a welcoming place for plants and animals that foster a healthier world.
