SUMMARY:Weeding Crew - August 11th
DESCRIPTION:Board member Dave Beach will be leading a volunteer weeding crew on this day. \n\n\n\nDuties:  Locating and hand pulling Yellow Starthistle and Diffuse Knapweed Plants.  The Rush Skeletonweed plants are left rooted in the ground\, but are clipped of their blooms and buds\, and the remaining plant stems individually “painted” with Roundup herbicide (not all of our group does this job).  Plants range in size from short\, small plants only a few inches in height to larger branched plants that are nearly 3 feet in height\, and with thorns.  They may occur as single plants or in patches.  Presently we are seeing some of the weeds approaching the blooming stage which makes them more distinguishable from the native plants.  Generally\, just pulling and bagging the plant material has proven to be the most practical method of removal\, while doing the least damage to the native plants. \n\n\n\nIf you’re interested in joining the weeding crews\, contact Dave at davidbeach47@gmail.com or by cell at 509-554-0919.

SUMMARY:Noxious Weed Training
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the Benton County Noxious Weed Control Board office and shop\, 1841 Terminal Dr. Richland\, WA 99354. The Weed Board office is located at the Richland Airport on the Bronco Lane end of the Northwest Restoration Building. Give yourself a little extra time for finding it. The phone number at the Weed Board office is 509 943-6005 and their email is bcnwcb@frontier.com. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTraining will be provided by the Benton County Noxious Weed Control Board\, Native Plant Society\, and Friends of Badger Mountain. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe goal is education about invasive weeds\, especially the particularly harmful ones classified as Noxious Weeds. The focus will be on the several species that are infesting our local communities\, and the ridgeline preserves of Badger and Candy Mountains. A short field trip may be included if an appropriate close-by location can be found. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWe especially invite those of you for this training who might be interested in volunteering to help clean up the remaining Badger and Candy Mountain noxious weeds. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nExpect some delightful\, tasty treats to keep your blood sugar levels up at the training. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to: \n\n\n\nDave Beach\, weedmaster \n\n\n\nFriends of Badger Mountain \n\n\n\nDavidbeach47@gmail.com \n\n\n\nCell-509 554-0919

SUMMARY:Weeding Crew - June 4th
DESCRIPTION:Duties: Locating and hand pulling Yellow Starthistle and Diffuse Knapweed Plants. The Rush Skeletonweed plants are left rooted in the ground\, but are clipped of their blooms and buds\, and the remaining plant stems individually “painted” with Roundup herbicide. (not all crew members do this task). Plants range in size from short\, small plants to larger branched plants with thorns. At present\, plants are ranging from only a few inches in height up to nearly 3 feet in height\, depending on species and individual growing conditions. They may occur as single plants\, small groupings\, or in small patches. Presently\, the werdmaster is seeing some weeds approaching the blooming stage\, making them more easily identified. We will bag and remove the plant material. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTools and Clothing: Bring good strong gloves — leather is best! Long sleeved shirts and long pants are recommended for scratch and sun protection. Don’t forget a hat. A small set of pruning clippers is sometimes useful. Generally\, just pulling and bagging the plants has proven to be the most practical method of removal. Since we are constantly moving\, a fanny pack or small backpack is useful to carry your “stuff” — gloves\, phone\, water\, snacks\, tools\, sun protection\, etc. Bring heavier plastic bags for the weeds if you have them – like feed bags or potting soil bags\, etc. The weedmaster will have bags\, too. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTerrain: We are working off-trail where the ground is sloped and uneven with plenty of dry Cheatgrass\, rocky in some areas — sturdy boots recommended. The weedmaster suggests using boot gaiters to keep the Cheatgrass out of your socks and boots. The Cheatgrass is again plentiful this year! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nReply to: davidbeach47@gmail.com Please let the weedmaster know as early as possible\, so they can have an idea who to be looking for and how large of a group to expect for assignments\, etc. After meeting at the parking lot\, we sometimes drive our vehicles\, or carpool to another location closer to the work area.

SUMMARY:Weeding Crew - June 8th
DESCRIPTION:Duties: Locating and hand pulling Yellow Starthistle and Diffuse Knapweed Plants. The Rush Skeletonweed plants are left rooted in the ground\, but are clipped of their blooms and buds\, and the remaining plant stems individually “painted” with Roundup herbicide. (not all crew members do this task). Plants range in size from short\, small plants to larger branched plants with thorns. At present\, plants are ranging from only a few inches in height up to nearly 3 feet in height\, depending on species and individual growing conditions. They may occur as single plants\, small groupings\, or in small patches. Presently\, the werdmaster is seeing some weeds approaching the blooming stage\, making them more easily identified. We will bag and remove the plant material. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTools and Clothing: Bring good strong gloves — leather is best! Long sleeved shirts and long pants are recommended for scratch and sun protection. Don’t forget a hat. A small set of pruning clippers is sometimes useful. Generally\, just pulling and bagging the plants has proven to be the most practical method of removal. Since we are constantly moving\, a fanny pack or small backpack is useful to carry your “stuff” — gloves\, phone\, water\, snacks\, tools\, sun protection\, etc. Bring heavier plastic bags for the weeds if you have them – like feed bags or potting soil bags\, etc. The weedmaster will have bags\, too. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTerrain: We are working off-trail where the ground is sloped and uneven with plenty of dry Cheatgrass\, rocky in some areas — sturdy boots recommended. The weedmaster suggests using boot gaiters to keep the Cheatgrass out of your socks and boots. The Cheatgrass is again plentiful this year! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nReply to: davidbeach47@gmail.com Please let the weedmaster know as early as possible\, so they can have an idea who to be looking for and how large of a group to expect for assignments\, etc. After meeting at the parking lot\, we sometimes drive our vehicles\, or carpool to another location closer to the work area.

SUMMARY:Weeding Crew - July 9th
DESCRIPTION:Time: 7:00 – 10:00 AM. Working period is always flexible\, just communicate your intentions with the leader. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhere:  Meet at Candy Mountain Trailhead parking lot.  Address is 71004 E. 669 PR N.E.  Directions – turn off of Dallas Rd. onto PR669 Rd. NE.  Drive uphill to the parking lot on the right.  Don’t leave anything in your car that may appear valuable since some car break-ins have occurred. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDuties: Locating and hand pulling Yellow Starthistle and Diffuse Knapweed Plants. The Rush Skeletonweed plants are left rooted in the ground\, but are clipped of their blooms and buds\, and the remaining plant stems individually “painted” with Roundup herbicide. (not all crew members do this task). Plants range in size from short\, small plants to larger branched plants with thorns. At present\, plants are ranging from only a few inches in height up to nearly 3 feet in height\, depending on species and individual growing conditions.They may occur as single plants\, small groupings\, or in small patches. Presently we are seeing some weeds starting into the blooming stage\, making them more easily identified\, but also needing quicker removal. We will bag and remove the plant material. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTools and Clothing: Bring good strong gloves — leather is best! Long sleeved shirts and long pants are recommended for scratch and sun protection. Don’t forget a hat. A small set of pruning clippers is sometimes useful. Generally\, just pulling and bagging the plants has proven to be the most practical method of removal. Since we are constantly moving\, a fanny pack or small backpack is useful to carry your “stuff” — gloves\, phone\, water\, snacks\, tools\, sun protection\, etc. Bring heavier plastic bags for the weeds if you have them – like feed bags or potting soil bags\, etc. The weedmaster will have bags\, too. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTerrain: We are working off-trail where the ground is sloped and uneven with plenty of dry Cheatgrass\, rocky in some areas — sturdy boots recommended.
