The Stewardship Network's Garlic Mustard Challenge 2017
Many Parks and Natural Areas Throughout the Greater Lansing Area
The Garlic Mustard Challenge is an annual event, where folks across the Great Lakes region are encouraged to protect their local, native ecosystems by pulling this invasive plant. This year, our goal is to collectively pull 200,000 pounds of garlic mustard and to have 50 garlic mustard free sites reported! It's a competition. It's a way anyone can have a positive impact on their environment. It's a way of showing our collective impact for improving our world.
