Over the years, FOMELC volunteers have made great progress in eliminating musk thistle from this beautiful Mt. Evans meadow. The last couple of years infestations in the upper meadow has shown renewed vigor. Please help us re-establish control!

The Pedee Creek meadow is 1.5 miles from the trailhead. Weather this season has been very favorable for the growth of musk thistle. One plant alone can produce 20,000 seeds. We need to combine manual treatment, "harvesting" the mature blossoms, with herbicide application. This is a large area and we need a very good turnout. If you have been thinking about volunteering to protect our wilderness NOW IS THE TIME!

Rendezvous: 7:30 am, EverBean by the Lake, 29003 Upper Bear Creek Road. Carpools can be arranged from there.

Your registration is necessary for us to efficiently organize the work plan. Thank you.
