LAKE COUNTY – Mark your calendar, the Lake County Weed Management Area is hosting its 15th annual “Invasive Weeds Tour” on Thursday, July 19.
The tour is free and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend.
The third week of July is California’s annual “Invasive Weed Awareness Week.”
This statewide program is designed to educate citizens about the undesirable effects and impacts of non-native invasive weeds.
Participants will gather in front of the Ranch House at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park at 8400 State Highway 53 between Clearlake and Lower Lake at 9 a.m.
They will take a leisurely guided walk of about 2 miles to see the amazingly diverse array of invasive plants that flourish in the park and the effects of control mechanisms such as control burns, and return to the house for lunch and discussion of aquatic invasive weeds under the trees.
Although the event is completely free and all members of the public are invited, reservations are required.
Please RSVP with the Lake County Agriculture Department at 707-263-0217 by July 16.
The tour is sponsored by the Lake County Department of Agriculture and the Lake County Resource Conservation District.
The end-of-tour lunch is free but donations to help offset the cost of refreshments will be greatly appreciated and cheerfully accepted.
