2020 Workdays
MC-IRIS is excited to partner with City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation this year to host First Saturday Invasive Control Workdays from March to November! This is a chance to visit and learn about Bloomington’s city parks and then help to control invasive plants at that park. Those who join us will get training on the identification and control of the target species and then they’ll get hands on experience controlling that invasive species. Participants should wear long pants, long sleeves, and close-toed shoes and bring water to drink. The schedule of work days is below; please register for these work days signing up at https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/volunteer.
