The Garlic Mustard Challenge needs your help!

Garlic Mustard PlantJoin Volunteers from April 20th through May 17th at Iowa City and Johnson County parks to help preserve if not beat our record pull of 5950 pounds (almost 3 tons!) of garlic mustard in 2008 and help control the noxious weed that threatens our local woodlands.

What is Garlic Mustard? A little confused? Be sure to check out our Garlic Mustard 101.

We need you to register your property! If you are a private property owner or oversee a publically owned space and would like to register your property for a pull, please use our online registration form.

We need volunteers at all locations! If you are interested in helping pull garlic mustard there are numerous opportunities to participate throughout Johnson County and on private properties. In order to learn more about those dates and locations, volunteer now!

We need guides at all locations! Guides will greet volunteers, distribute garbage bags and instructions on how to pull the weed and provide guidance as necessary. Are you willing to volunteer as a guide?

We need help promoting the program! The following are two pieces of information that you can print off yourself or contact Marcia Bollinger and she can get you as many copies as you need.
