We will work together to remove the invasive species so that our native friends can flourish. Meet by the dog park in the back of the park. We’ll have trash bags, water, and snacks. Please bring gardening gloves, and if you have them, clippers to cut back the invasive plants growing in the park. Bring your family and help make Talley Day Park look beautiful! No rain date.
