Geocache Description:

CITO hosted in partnership with the Grand River Conservation Authority
Invasive Plant Species Removal
Pioneer Memorial Tower - Kitchener Ontario
Sunday October 21st, 9:00am

What better way to give back than helping to preserve the natural beauty of our outdoor resources? Please join us for a few hours as we take part in ridding the river grasslands of an invasive plant species. GRCA staff will be on hand to teach us more about what we are removing. We will hand-pull or use a trowel or shovel to loosen up the soil and dig up the roots. It will be important to remove the entire root system or re-sprouting may occur.

Listed coordinates are for the parking area at Pioneer Tower, the lot will not hold all the cars so it may be necessary to park on the nearby streets. Once parked follow the signs to the usual RED mobile command center. Children are welcome with adult supervision.

** Please meet at 9:00am SHARP at the command trailer for some announcements and introductions. The fine folks at Becker Bros have once again graciously donated coffee and donuts to the event. CITO will run rain or shine. Don't forget your shovels. **

What to bring:
Gloves
Shovel or Trowel
Clothing appropriate for weather
Water - we'll try to have enough water on hand for all the volunteers but bringing additional water is a good idea
Camera - remember to take pictures and upload them with your log.

Thank You to the following businesses for making donations to the event:
Becker Bros Towing
