Luray, Virginia: Do you want to help protect native plant and wildlife habitat in your National Parks? Participants will work with Park staff to pull and bag garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) from high traffic areas within the park. Garlic mustard is an aggressive non-native plant that displaces our native plant species. As it spreads, it takes the place of the plants that provide fruits, seeds, pollen, and forage for our wildlife, birds, and insects. Join us for one of the upcoming events and help make a difference in protecting Shenandoah's native habitat.
If you plan to attend any workday event(s), RSVP your intended participation to email e-mail us. Events may be cancelled due to severe inclement weather. In that case, we will make every effort to contact registrants.
