Learn how to control invasive plants on your property



Do you want to remove invasive plants like tansy or Canada thistle from your land but don’t know how or don’t have the right equipment?

The Community Forest Restoration Shed at Sugarloaf Cove houses tools, herbicide application equipment, and herbicides that are available for anyone to use.

People wishing to use herbicides must participate in a two-hour training on herbicides, safety, and invasive plants of the North Shore. During the training participants will learn how herbicides work, how to apply herbicides correctly and safely and alternate control methods.

Herbicides and herbicide application equipment will be available only during training times.

The course fee is $10 per person and $8 for Sugarloaf members. Payment will be taken on the day of the training. Cash, check or credit card accepted.

Classes will start at 6 p.m. for all three sessions, July 24, Aug. 1, and Aug. 13. Pre-registration required. Register on the website—Sugarloafnorthshore.org.
