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.
The two-hour class will be held Monday, August 13 at 6 p.m.
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. Course fee: $10 per person or $8 for Sugarloaf members. Payment will be taken on the day of the training. (Cash, check or credit card accepted.)
