Salamonie Lake to have invasive plant workshop with Slack April 6

The public is invited to kick off National Volunteer Week at Salamonie Lake by joining Dawn Slack, of The Nature Conservancy, for an informative invasive plant removal workshop at Majenica Marsh, Salamonie Lake, on Saturday, April 6.

Each participant will learn about invasive plant species, how to better manage them and be part of a removal volunteer group. This is phase one of a two-phase project. The second phase will involve planting seeds of native pollinators at a later date.  

Participants should plan to meet at 9:30 a.m. at Majenica Marsh to fill water bottles and eat a provided snack. A 10 a.m. presentation by Slack will conclude with a hands-on workshop of invasive plant removal.

Participants may choose to finish at noon or work throughout the day until 3:30 p.m., and may choose to bring a sack lunch.

Participants should plan to dress for the weather, wear close-toed shoes, bring water bottles, sunscreen and wear any sun protective gear. In the event of rain, the hands-on plant removal workshop will be held April 13, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Majenica Marsh is located on Ind.-9 and 400S, Huntington County (north of Ind.-124). Advance registration is requested by April 3. Those interested can call 468-2127 to reserve a spot.

Upper Wabash Interpretive Services is at 3691 New Holland Rd., Andrews.
