Bogus Basin x City of Boise Volunteer Weed Pull 


What

 Join our Sustainability & Stewardship team and the City of Boise’s Foothills Restoration team to remove (via pulling) several infestations of Spotted Knapweed along the Dry Creek Trail. This is a collaborative effort to mitigate the spread of noxious weeds among our shared trail systems. Tools and instruction will be provided. The infestations are spread out along the trail, with some located less than a mile from the trailhead, and the furthest are about 3 miles from the trailhead, so there’s an opportunity for people of all hiking abilities!

When & Where

Meet at the Dry Creek Trailhead off Bogus Basin Road.
