Weed Wrangle
Knoxville
Weed Wrangle Knoxville is part of a national volunteer effort to help rescue public parks and green spaces from invasive species through hands-on removal of especially harmful trees, vines, and flowering plants.
Join Ijams for the 2023 Weed Wrangle Knoxville!
Mark your calendar to tackle some nonnative, invasive species on Saturday, March 11, from 9:30 am-12 pm! Working together as a community, we all can make a positive difference for native habitats and wildlife.
