Volunteer: Adopt-a-Site Pepperweed VolunteerJoin the effort to control invasive pepperweed! Through our Adopt-a-Site program, you will be assigned an area that will be your exclusive responsibility to treat on your own schedule throughout the pulling season. This area can be as big or as small as you decide that you can handle. For some of you, this might be your very own backyard. Rather than having to schedule a specific time to volunteer, you can visit and pull your "adopted" site whenever is most convenient for you. We will provide you with a detailed map of all documented pepperweed stands at the site, straightforward guides on pepperweed identification/treatment, and necessary field supplies (e.g., heavy duty contractor bags). The training date is June 6th, 2026 from 10am-12pm at Joppa Flats. In order to sign up as a volunteer, you must be available on this date. To express interest in this opportunity, click the "Respond" button. In the "Response Notes," share in a few sentences why you are interested and why you would be an excellent fit for this volunteer role. Please note that this step is only to express interest in this opportunity. Place: Joppa Flats Education Center Join the effort to control invasive pepperweed!
