Rush skeletonweed

Yellow starthistle

Kochia.

Tools and Clothing: Bring good strong gloves — leather or heavier rubberized garden gloves! Dress for the weather forecast. 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 often 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, clothes, 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. Weedmaster will have bags, too.

Terrain: We are working off-trail where the ground is sloped and uneven with plenty of dry Cheatgrass, rocky in some areas — sturdy boots with good tread, arch support, and ankle protection is recommended. We suggest using boot gaiters to keep the Cheatgrass out of your socks and boots. The Cheatgrass is again plentiful this year!

Don’t leave anything in your car that may appear valuable since some car break-ins have occurred at these parking lots.
