Let's Pull Together

Lets Pull Together is a multi-county noxious weed eradication event consisting of collaborative partnerships with city and county government and boards, parks, schools and irrigation districts, neighborhood & homeowners associations, utility companies, private and public entities, businesses and our incredible volunteers all join together for good times and clean country (city) living.

Why pull noxious weeds you ask?

Noxious weeds are non-native invasive species which threaten our ecosystem.  They not only crowd out native plants, but they starve wildlife, use water, create allergens, and yes, they are trying to take over Oregon! Noxious weeds also provide tremendous ladder fuel which during wildfires can radically change the speed and fury at which wildfires burn.

To Volunteer...

» Meet us on June 28th at 9am at your local weed pull site (listed below). «

Event planners need volunteers: scout troops, church groups, sportsmen and farming organizations, school groups and folks like you to protect our ecosystem from these non native invasive species! 

For special accommodations please contact event coordinator.

• BBQ follows 2 hour weed pull at Hawthorne Park! •

After the weed pulls, all volunteers are welcome to feast at our complimentary BBQ. Festivities will include entertainment, a complimentary gourmet lunch, refreshing beverages, and fabulous prizes!

• Our signature tee will be guaranteed for all volunteers. •

Additional photos are available at www.invasive.org. 

If you have a noxious weed infestation, please contact your county weed expert. Many counties offer a cost share program to assist you in eradicating these weeds as well as re-vegetation and restoration of your property.
