Removing Yellow Clematis from the Weaselhead!
These vines grow rapidly either along the ground or will climb and cover other shrubs/trees, which is why we want them gone!

Want to help stop the spread of invasive plants? It’s easier than you think! Swipe to learn how.
Small actions make a big impact. Join us in protecting the Weaselhead! #InvSpWk #weaselheadpark #invasiveplants

Weaselhead/Glenmore Park Preservation Society @weaselheadpark.bsky.social · Feb 28

These plants may look harmless, but they’re causing big problems in the Weaselhead.
We’re fighting back by cutting, digging & removing them before they take over. Every plant we pull makes a difference. Want to help? Check out our volunteer programs!

Since 2009, our Invasive Species Program has made huge strides!

Thanks to ongoing support of the Alberta Conservation Association and the Land Stewardship Center – Watershed Stewardship Grant. Their commitment helps keep our ecosystems healthy & resilient.
