Earth Day at Douthat State Park

Invasive Plant Removal

Join us this Earth Day at Douthat State Park to make a lasting impact on our natural landscapes. Volunteers will help remove invasive plant species that threaten the park’s native ecosystems. Meet at the Park Office.

What to Expect:

• A brief introduction to invasive species and their effects on the environment
• Hands-on removal of targeted invasive plants
• Guidance from park rangers on best removal practices
• Time to explore and enjoy the beauty of Douthat State Park after the event

What to Bring:

• Sturdy, closed-toed shoes
• Work gloves
• Eye protection
• Long pants and sleeves to protect against scratches and insects
• A refillable water bottle

This is a great opportunity for individuals, families and groups to give back to nature while enjoying the outdoors. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to get your hands dirty for a good cause.
