Description: A shorter event earlier in the morning to remove any missed plants in the neighborhood rights-of-way. Increasingly, we are seeing that it takes several successive visits to catch all the stinknet. Most likely due to its staggered germination in the spring.

Tools Provided: Buckets, trash bags, gloves, some hand tools
Bring: Drinking water; your favorite hand weeding tool, if you have one, a face mask in case you are allergic to stinknet
