JOIN THE CHALLENGE, REMOVE GARLIC MUSTARD AT METROPARKS

The Huron-Clinton Metroparks, along with other members of The Stewardship Network, are pulling together for nature and participating in The Stewardship Network’s Garlic Mustard Pull Challenge aimed at pulling 100,000 pounds of this invasive plant that threatens our local woodlands. The local cluster that pulls the most garlic mustard will be awarded the Golden Hotdog Award; for cluster with the most mustard (pulled)!

Help the Metroparks’ local efforts to win this challenge by joining our cluster workdays or joining other organization’s garlic mustard pull workdays. Visit the Garlic Mustard Pull Challenge webpage at www.stewardshipnetwork.org/garlicchallenge.
