Friends of the Shawnee National Forest, Shawnee National Forest, and Illinois Extension are partnering up to host garlic mustard pulls on April 10 and April 17 at Trigg Tower. We will meet on these Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We will break into teams to hand-pull garlic mustard in impacted areas throughout southern Illinois. At these events, we will be hand-pulling and not applying herbicide.
 
Don't worry—these aren't all work and no-play days. We will be pulling garlic mustard from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. After we are done, there will be a short guided hike to learn more about the area's botany. These hikes are optional and will be from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.
