You will need to have sturdy footwear and a spade. \n\n\n\nMore work parties will be necessary through August\, including ones where we will use the second technique needed with Phragmites — cutting off plant stalks underwater in order to deprive the roots of oxygen. \n\n\n\nSIGN UP FOR THIS OR OTHER PHRAGMITES REMOVAL EVENTS USING THE FORM BELOW!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOCATION: Park and meet on Sideroad 19\, west of Grey Rd 7 in Epping.
