Who Can Be a Weed Warrior?
Columbia residents who care about protecting our native plant resources are perfect candidates to be Weed Warriors. Certified volunteer leaders, who complete CA’s training program, may supervise and “lead” groups of volunteers onto the open space to perform designated invasive weed removal tasks as well as ‘adopt’ their own location in CA Open Space through the Adopt-a-Spot program. Weed Warrior training is held twice a year. Anyone interested can email [email protected] to learn about the next training.

This will be a combination of classroom and field activities, so please wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and a hat.
